Earlier Manoj Kumar had expressed his ire at the film saying he was hurt that Shah Rukh portrayed him in a negative manner. The actor, who has also produced Om Shanti Om, was quick to issue an apology.

"After I read the story, I called up Manoj Kumar and apologized to him. He told me not to worry about this issue and on the contrary invited us over a cup of tea," he said at a press conference. "Honestly speaking, I didn't mean to show anyone in a negative manner or run down anyone."

Manoj Kumar was reportedly angry at scenes in Om Shanti Om, which showed him being beaten up by guards when he tries to enter a movie theatre. Kumar, played by a lookalike covers his face in the scene; hence the guards do not recognize him.

Om Shanti Om has been declared a runaway hit notwithstanding the controversy.
