He disapproved of the scene where Shah Rukh Khan\u2019s character Om Prakash Makhija enters a movie premiere by stealing the veteran actor\u2019s pass. The scene also shows that the police fails to recognise him due to his signature hand on his face gesture.<\/p>\n<p>This comic scene didn\u2019t sit down well with the veteran actor, who expressed his disappointment. Manoj Kumar\u2019s lawyer, in a statement said, \u201cManoj Kumar has been offended by a certain sequence in the film, and he asked me whether any legal action was possible. However, I myself haven\u2019t seen the film. So, I would be able to advise him only after seeing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"osv-ad-class\" style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;height: 375px;margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/bollywood\/throwback-to-when-alia-bhatt-took-her-first-international-trip-cried-when-hotel-didnt-let-her-pet-in-9924820\/\" class=\"\">ALSO READ | Throwback to when Alia Bhatt took her first international trip, cried when hotel didn\u2019t let her pet in<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reportedly, after the actor\u2019s disappointment, Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan agreed to remove the scene from the film.

I called him in the afternoon and the first thing he said to me was \u2018it is no big deal, son.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While it seemed like everything was settled between the two stars, things resurfaced again in 2013 when the film released in Japan in its original version, with Manoj Kumar\u2019s scene intact. This time, the veteran star took a legal action and filed a lawsuit against Shah Rukh Khan and Eros International. The actor sought damages of Rs 100 crore for \u201crepeating their mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to media, Manoj Kumar said, \u201cThe film was released in Japan without deleting those scenes, I had forgiven them twice, but not this time.
