The case was filed by a Bharatpur resident, who alleged fraud over the brand's Alcazar car he purchased for nearly Rs 24 lakh. For those unversed, both SRK and Deepika have been associated with the brand as endorsers. Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone In Trouble Kirti Singh, who bought the car in June 2022, has filed an FIR against the Pathaan actors and six others linked to Hyundai. In the complaint, he claimed the car developed technical problems soon after, and when he approached the dealer, he was informed it was a manufacturing defect that couldn't be corrected. He said, "After driving the car for 6-7 months, technical faults started appearing. It would make noise and vibrate when driven at high speeds. The car shows malfunction signs on the engine management system." FIR Against Actors For Allegedly Endorsing Faulty Vehicle Singh then moved court, which directed Mathura Gate police to file a case under Section 420 and begin an investigation. Shah Rukh has been a face of Hyundai for decades, while his co-star of multiple films joined as brand ambassador in 2023. Both appeared together in an ad last year. As per the Supreme Court's orders, the endorsers can also be held accountable in cases of misleading promotions. Meanwhile, Deepike and SRK are yet to issue a statement on the matter.
