Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone have got relief from Rajasthan High Court in the defective car case which was filed in Bharatpur recently. The court has put a stay on the FIR which was registered against the actors saying that it lacks a factual basis to hold the two accountable.
A complaint was filed earlier by a car owner who accused automobile company Hyundai of selling him a defective car and as Shah Rukh and Deepika were its brand ambassadors, they were named in the FIR along with six company officials.
Shah Rukh and Deepika challenged the FIR and approached the high court arguing that their association with Hyundai was limited to promotional activities and clarified that they had no role in the company’s manufacturing, technical operations and sales. Shah Rukh was represented by senior lawyer Kapil Sibbal while Deepika was represented by Madhav Mitra.
The court stayed the FIR and gave interim relief to the actors along with the six company officials named in the complaint. The case will be taken up in court on September 25.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Shah Rukh and Deepika are set to share the screen space again with Sidharth Anand’s actioner, King which also stars Jaideep Ahlawat and Suhana Khan. Deepika was last seen Kalki 2898 AD and Singham Again in 2024.
Shah Rukh will also be making a cameo in his son Aryan Khan's web-series debut, The Ba***ds Of Bollywood which is set to be released on Netflix on September 18.
