On Friday, the Delhi High Court postponed the hearing on actor Salman Khan’s plea seeking a stay on the film Kala Hiran: The Battle of Legacy, which is allegedly based on Khan’s infamous 1998 blackbuck poaching case.
The film was announced on May 30 with a poster featuring a character bearing a resemblance to Khan. A day later, the actor’s team took action and approached the court against the film. However, the actor will have to wait.
Amid the legal dispute, director Bharat S. Shrinate said the film is not based on Salman’s life and that the actor cannot stop them.
“The bracelet isn’t a patented accessory. If Salman feels that only he can wear it, he should get it patented. That bracelet shouldn’t be made available anywhere else in the world. I completely disagree with the narrative that this film or this character is based on Salman. Our character isn’t Salman Khan. This is just a film!”

Delhi HC refuses urgent relief in Kala Hiran film case
On Friday, the case was heard by Justice Madhu Jain during the court’s vacation bench. The actor’s team had to wait, as the judge postponed the hearing on his case against the film Kala Hiran.
Senior Advocate Sandeep Sethi, representing Khan, sought interim relief from the Court, saying that the makers of the movie were exploiting the actor’s identity and life story without consent.
“He is producing a film on my life and tearing up the notice. He has no right to make a film of my life. I am seeking an interim injunction. The teaser has already been released,” Sethi told the Court.
The court ordered Khan’s legal team to provide the filmmakers with a full copy of the suit and related documents. However, the filmmakers’ counsel requested more time to respond, saying they had only just received the application.
The case will now be heard again on July 1.
During the hearing, the team of filmmakers' lawyers also told the court that they had allegedly received death threats and they had also filed an FIR.
What's the controversy about?
The controversy centers on Kala Hiran, a film allegedly based on the 1998 Salman Khan blackbuck poaching case, which reportedly led to tensions between the actor and jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Despite the legal case, the makers released a trailer with a character and sequence of events similar to Khan’s case. The filmmakers are also facing another legal dispute with veteran actor Govind Namdev, who has alleged he was kept in the dark about the project.
