Renowned writer and poet Javed Akhtar has filed a defamation case on Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut. The actress has named Akhtar many times in the year.

In an interview, she had shared that Javed Akhtar 'threatened' her to not mess with Hrithik Roshan's family. Kangana had also alleged that Akhtar tried to threaten her through gunshots near her Manali home.

While talking to Pinkvilla, Kangana had mentioned, "Javed Akhtar called me to his house and said that Rakesh Roshan and family are big people. If you do not apologize to them, then you will not be able to go anywhere. They will put you in jail and you will have no choice but to harm yourself."

"You can even think of suicide. He said all these things to me. Why did they think that if I do not apologize to Hrithik Roshan, then I will commit suicide? He shouted at me. Angry too. I was having a cucumber sitting at his house," she had stated.

While Kangana Ranaut has named Javed Akhtar recently, her sister and ex-manager Rangoli Chandel also called out the veteran when she was active on Twitter.

Interestingly, the Mumbai Police on Tuesday issued fresh summons to Kangana and Rangoli in relation to a case lodged against the two in Bandra police station.

In an FIR lodged against the siblings at Bandra police station, the sisters have been accused of spreading religious disharmony. In the same case, while Kangana has been asked to appear for investigations on November 10, Rangoli Chandel has to appear before the Bandra Police on November 11. 

These are the second summons to the sisters after they failed to appear before the police officials on October 26-27 for probe in a first information report lodged against them which includes sedition charges. The two reportedly skipped the previous summons as they were busy with their brother' wedding.
