‘Rama Setu’; BJP MP Subramanian Swamy has sent notices to Akshay Kumar and Jacqueline Fernandez.
New Delhi: BJP’s former Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has sent a notice to the crew and stars of the movie ‘Ram Setu’.
The BJP leader on Sunday sent a legal notice to the film’s actors Akshay Kumar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nusrat Barucha and other crew members.
The notice was sent through advocate Satya Sabharwal.
In the notice, Swamy says that he is the only one who has approached various courts on the Rama Setu issue and if the court proceedings are depicted in a film, he will give his permission if the true facts are presented properly.
“Court proceedings are an integral part of protecting Rama Setu, which was destroyed by previous governments. “My client (Subramanian Swamy) has contributed for the film, subject to court proceedings, if it is being filmed in the said film and my client should be recognized in this regard,” the notice said.
Subramanian Swamy has also asked the makers of the film to share the script of the film with him as part of the court proceedings related to Rama Setu to prevent misrepresentation of what happened in the past.
To resolve the issue amicably, Swamy has asked the producers in the notice to mark his contribution in the film’s opening credits and invite him to watch the film before its release to confirm that the facts are correct.
The story of the film revolves around an archeologist who sets out to find out whether the Rama Setu Bridge is a myth or a reality.
Earlier, Subramanian Swamy had come forward threatening to file a case once morest Rama Setu. It is alleged that the film misrepresents the Rama Setu issue.
Subramanian Swamy had also filed a petition in the Supreme Court demanding that Rama Setu be given national heritage status.
‘Rama Setu’ is a line of limestone cliffs between Sri Lanka’s Mannar Island and Tamil Nadu’s Rameswaram Island.
