    Police complaint filed against Akshay Kumar over controversial TV ad
  • Despite his perpetually joyful ride at the box-office, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar often finds himself embroiled in one controversy after the other.

    In a fresh case, a written complaint was filed against Kumar at the Worli police station in Mumbai on Monday, for allegedly portraying Maratha warriors and the Marathi culture in a bad light, through a television commercial.

    Here are more details.

    In the two-minute-long video, Kumar can be seen dressed as a Marathi warrior.

    The ad film shows Kumar's character and his fellow soldiers getting mocked by his wife for their soiled clothes, after successfully returning from a battle.
