YouTuber Rashid Siddiqui, who has a channel named FF News, urged Akshay Kumar to withdraw the notice failing which he would initiate appropriate legal proceedings against the actor.

Akshay Kumar, in his defamation notice sent through the law firm IC Legal, said that Rashid Siddiqui published several "defamatory, libelous and derogatory".
