Manoj Bajpayee files defamation complaint against Kamaal R Khan

Manoj Bajpayee has filed a criminal defamation complaint against Kamaal R Khan for a derogatory tweet, PTI reported on Wednesday.

In his tweet, dated July 26, KRK had called Manoj 'Charsi, Ganjedi', saying he does not watch web shows like The Family Man.

According to PTI, the complaint was filed in a court in Indore (Madhya Pradesh). Manoj reportedly appeared in person in court to record his statement.

KRK, however, has denied that he has received any notice from Manoj until now.

Responding to the media reports, KRK tweeted, "I haven’t received any notice till now but media says that Manoj Bajpayee has filed a defamation case against me in Indore? When Manoj is living in Mumbai then why he went to Indore to file a case? He doesn’t trust @MumbaiPolice and judiciary? You all know who is from Indore?"

He added, "And who asked Manoj to file case from Indore to harass me instead of Mumbai. Dadu ji you can’t save your career by harassing me. You are making entire Bollywood to gang up against me to stop me from reviewing ur films but it won’t work. I will still review ur all films."

Earlier, actor Salman Khan had filed a defamation case against KRK for disparaging comments post the release of Radhe. While KRK maintained he was being hounded for negatively reviewing the film, Salman's lawyers said the suit was against personal attacks on the actor and his brand.
