Salman Khan Faces New Legal Battle Over Biopic
6 Oct
Summary
- Salman Khan's lawsuit to block film release is challenged.
- Filmmakers seek to halt court proceedings on the actor's plea.
- Dispute involves personality rights and film's promotional content.
The Delhi High Court has been asked to halt proceedings in Salman Khan's lawsuit aimed at preventing the release of a film titled 'Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legal.' This request comes from the film's makers, who argue that the case significantly overlaps with Khan's earlier legal action concerning his personality rights.
Salman Khan had sought legal restrictions on the release of the film, reportedly based on his life. The filmmakers' application highlights the potential for parallel proceedings if the matters are handled independently, particularly concerning the film's promotional content and alleged infringement of the actor's publicity rights.
An ex-parte ad-interim injunction was previously granted to Salman by the Delhi High Court on December 11, 2025, protecting his personality rights. The actor subsequently filed another application seeking an interim injunction specifically against the proposed film, which remains pending before the court.
The filmmakers maintain that the relief sought by Salman in the current proceedings is substantially the same as in the prior case. This includes restrictions on the film's release, exhibition, dissemination, and its promotional teasers.
