Actor Govind Namdev Distances Himself from Salman Khan-linked Film

Actor Govind Namdev has expressed shock and distanced himself from the film 'Kala Hiran,' which is reportedly inspired by the 1998 blackbuck poaching case linked to Salman Khan. Namdev revealed that he was initially approached for a project named 'Sambhal' and was under the impression it would focus solely on courtroom proceedings without creating a character resembling the Bollywood star.

Upon viewing the teaser, which prominently features a character designed to look like Salman Khan, Namdev felt misled and used, stating a significant difference between what he was told and the final product. He clarified his involvement was limited to filming courtroom scenes, believing he was merely depicting facts already on public record.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan has taken legal action by approaching the Delhi High Court. His plea seeks to halt the release of 'Kala Hiran,' arguing that the film appears to be based on allegations connected to him and infringes upon his personality rights. The court is scheduled to hear this petition on June 19, with the actor expressing his discomfort with the film's current portrayal.
