Salman Khan-KRK Salman Khan to sue KRK but not for his review of Radhe, clarifies superstar's legal team
New Delhi/IBNS: Salman Khan's legal team has issued a clarification on why the actor is suing self-styled film critic Kamaal R Khan. No, the lawsuit won't be filed over his review of Radhe.
Rather, the actor will sue KRK for alleging that Salman Khan is involved in fraud and money laundering through his NGO Being Human.
KRK has spent months "spreading malicious falsehoods" as a way of seeking attention, Salman Khan's legal team claimed in a statement.
"Kamaal R Khan has put out a series of tweets and videos alleging that Salman Khan has sued him for defamation because he reviewed the film, Radhe. This is incorrect. The suit has been filed as the defendant has been publishing and endorsing defamatory allegations, including that Salman Khan is corrupt, that he and his brand "Being Human" are involved in fraud, manipulation and money laundering transactions, that he and Salman Khan Films are dacoits," the superstar's legal team said in the statement.
"The Defendant has been spreading malicious falsehoods and defaming Salman Khan consistently over several months, clearly with a view to draw attention to himself," the statement read.
Khan's legal team also said that KRK's lawyer told a Mumbai court on Thursday that his client will not post any "remarks of defamatory nature" against the actor till the next court date.
The comments threads on KRK's tweets are filled with sceptical responses where several netizens have expressed utter disbelief that Salman Khan was suing KRK because of his review of Radhe.
It’s the starting portion of petition & you can see that No.1 is #Radhe’s trailer and No.2 is Radha‘s review. Means the case is about #Radhe’s reviews videos. Means it’s all about Radhe! All other things are to support the case to make it strong. Means #DSK are good liars. pic.twitter.com/WUJ65wP0eU

Radhe is Salman Khan's new film which also stars Disha Patani. It released earlier this month to largely negative reviews.
