Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has landed in hot water for his upcoming film Ram Setu. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy said he would sue the actor and the makers of the film for “misrepresentation in the portrayal of the Ram Sethu issue” in their film. The politician also stated that he would seek compensation from the manufacturers.
“Suit for damages finalized by my associate Satya Sabharwal Adv. I sued Akshay Kumar, actor & Karma Media for damages caused by misrepresentation in portrayal of Ram Setu issue in their film for release,” Swamy tweeted. “If actor Akshay Kumar is a foreign citizen, then we can ask him to be arrested and deported from his adopted country,” he said in a follow-up tweet.

The UPA government, in 2007, had proposed a Sethusamudram project. Under this project an 83 km long deep water canal with extensive dredging and removal of limestone shoals was to be constructed to connect Mannar with the Palk Strait. Swamy moved against this decision in court and the government resorted to another plan to connect Mannar with the Palk Strait.
In February this year, the Supreme Court agreed to hear BJP MP Subramanian Swamy’s plea seeking directions to the Center to declare Ram Sethu as a national heritage site. Ram Setu, which is also known as Adam’s Bridge, is a chain of limestone shoals between Pamban or Rameswaram Island, off the southeast coast of Tamil Nadu, and Mannar Island, on the northwest coast of Sri Lanka.
Talking about the movie, Ram Setu is an action-adventure drama that tells a story rooted in Indian cultural and historical heritage. Starring Akshay, it stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Nushrratt Bharuccha and Pankaj Tripathi in pivotal roles. The makers completed the shooting for their upcoming film in January this year and the poster of the film was released a few months ago. It is scheduled to hit theaters on October 24.
