The yesteryear superstar Manoj Kumar when first watched OM Shanti Om in 2007, he wasn't too pleased with a spoof on him in the film. He immediately took the producers the court (2008), following which the court had asked them to remove all the scenes that were found distasteful by Manoj, from all prints as well as broadcast material forever. The latest buzz is that while Om Shanti Om was released in Japan recently, no scenes were deleted from the film, much to Manoj's shock and anger. As a result, the actor is in no mood to spare the producers this time around.  Manoj has threatened Shah Rukh Khan and Eros International to drag them to the court.

As per some media reports, Manoj is all set to file a lawsuit against the Om Shanti Om producers and seek a damage to the tune of Rs 100 crore. As per OneIndia, Manoj said, "The film was released in Japan without deleting those scenes. I had forgiven them twice but not this time. They have disrespected me. They also face contempt of court, as in 2008 the court had asked them to forever and from all prints and broadcast material, delete those scenes. I would file civil and criminal proceedings against the producers (Shah Rukh Khan and Eros International) for seeking damages to the tune of Rs 100 crore for showing Om Shanti Om in Japan without removing objectionable scenes as ordered by Mumbai civil court in 2008."
