Salman Khan’s legal team clarifies: “Salman Khan is suing KRK for defamatory claims, not Radhe”

Previously, Kamaal R Khan had issued a series of tweets implying that Salman Khan had filed a defamation suit against him for giving his latest film Radhe a bad review.

After actor Kamaal R Khan took to social media a few days ago to claim that Salman Khan had filed a defamation suit against him for reviewing Radhe, Salman’s legal team issued a statement claiming that the case has nothing to do with the film’s review. According to the statement, the suit was filed against KRK because he, “has been publishing and endorsing defamatory allegations, including that Mr 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 full statement from DSK Legal, Salman Khan’s legal team, reads, “Mr Kamaal R Khan, the Defendant, has put out a series of tweets and videos alleging that Mr Salman Khan has sued him for defamation because the Defendant reviewed the film, Radhe. This is incorrect.”

“The suit has been filed as the Defendant has been publishing and endorsing defamatory allegations, including that Mr 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 Defendant has been spreading malicious falsehoods and defaming Mr Salman Khan consistently over several months, clearly with a view to draw attention to himself. Mr Kamaal R Khan’s lawyer made a statement in Court today that Mr Kamaal R. Khan “will not put any remarks of defamatory nature against plaintiff on social media till next date.” The Hon’ble Court has been pleased to pass an order taking into account this statement made by Mr. Kamaal R. Khan’s lawyer,” the statement concluded.

The Deshdrohi actor had published a list of tweets implying that Salman Khan had filed a defamation suit against him for giving his latest film Radhe a bad review.

Radhe, a film starring Salman Khan and Disha Patani, was released on ZEEPlex and in theatres on Eid.
