Salman Khan sued Kamaal R Khan over 'defamatory allegations,' not Radhe review, says actor's lawyer

A day after Salman Khan filed a legal complaint against Kamaal R Khan, the Radhe star's legal team has issued a statement clarifying their stance on the same.

The statement, issued in response to Kamaal R Khan, refutes the claim that the complaint was filed over his review of Salman's latest movie, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. 

"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 is involved in fraud, manipulation and money laundering transactions, that he and Salman Khan Films are dacoits," reads the statement.

It goes on to claim that Kamaal R Khan has been "spreading malicious falsehoods and defaming" Salman Khan "consistently over several months," in a bid to draw attention to himself.

During the court hearing, Kamaal R Khan's lawyer stated he won't post anything defamatory against the actor until the next hearing.

I said so many times that I never review film of any producer, actor if he asks me to not review. Salman khan filed defamation case on me for review of #Radhe means he is getting too much affected by my review. Hence I won’t review his films anymore. My last video releasing today

You all can see hundreds of bad reviews of #Radhe on YouTube but Salman doesn’t have any problem with anyone except #TheBrandKRK! Now it’s proof that #DRKRK is The No.1 Critic in the history of Bollywood. All others are just Chai Cum Paani. Stars don’t care about their reviews. — KRK (@kamaalrkhan) May 27, 2021

Court hearing is done. Next date is 7th June 2021! Vande Mataram! Satyamev Jayate. Jai Hind! 🙏🏼👍👌💪💪💪
