Ram Setu, starring Akshay Kumar, has become a subject of controversy much before its official release as BJP leader Subramanian Swamy accused the film of "falsification in the representation of the Ram Setu problem." The BJP leader further said that he would demand payment from the movie's producers.
Taking to Twitter, Swamy wrote, "The suit for compensation has been finalised by my associate Satya Sabharwal Adv. I am suing Akshay Kumar, actor & Karma Media for damages caused by falsification in the portrayal of the Ram Setu issue in their film for release."
