SMS attack against actor Akshay Kumar

Top actor Akshay Kumar has been targeted via defamatory SMS messages being sent to his close friends.

The messages, sent from a Delhi number, are as follows:

"Tashan flopped miserably & Akshay is doing all behind the scene manoeuvring to maintain his market price. First Singh is King audio rights deal was inflated heavily involving two corporates and its mobile rights were then acquired by another corporate again at inflated unheard of price and today someone claimed in a press ad that it has sold 500K (500,000) MC & CD in merely 4 weeks. Can someone tell him that even his last hits like Welcome, Hey Baby, Namaste London, Bhool Bhulaiyaa have not even crossed 200K (200,000) Mc & CD since release. Why is he (Kumar) so desperate…can someone ask him please….."

An industry source close to the actor, says, “When I got the message, I promptly tried to call the number from where I got the message but to no avail. The number turned out to be a Delhi local prepaid number and it has been switched off since the message was sent. This has to be someone close to Akki as well. That’s how he knew who to send the message to and get Akki’s attention."
