Salman Khan Fights Film on His Life in Court
27 Jun
Summary
- Salman Khan seeks court order to halt filming and promotion of 'Kala Hiran' movie.
- Actor Sonu Mishra quit the film, citing ethical concerns and script withholding.
- Filmmakers claim death threats and filed an FIR amidst the movie controversy.
Salman Khan has approached the Delhi High Court seeking to prevent the filming, promotion, and release of the movie "Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy." He contends that the filmmakers are exploiting his life and public persona without consent, citing the release of a teaser and posters that allegedly depict him. Khan argues that certain portrayals misrepresent events, particularly regarding legal proceedings.
The controversy intensified as actor Sonu Mishra, initially cast as Salman Khan, withdrew from the film. Mishra cited ethical reasons, stating the film aimed to tarnish the actor's reputation and Rajasthan's culture, and that the script was not shared with him. He denied receiving threats from the Bishnoi community.
Filmmakers, represented by producer Amit Jani, have reportedly filed a First Information Report (FIR) alleging death threats. The court has deferred the hearing on Khan's plea, with the next hearing scheduled for July 1, 2026. The case involves issues of personality rights, defamation, and the potential prejudice to ongoing legal proceedings.
