The controversy around Kala Hiran continues to intensify since the release of the film's poster. Now, Govind Namdev has accused the makers of withholding crucial details about the project. The actor, who appears to play a key role in the film, has alleged that he was led to believe Kala Hiran was a very different story and only realised the nature of the project after seeing its trailer.&nbsp;&nbsp;This update comes days after the film landed in legal trouble. As per reports, Salman Khan recently approached the Delhi High Court seeking action against the film. His team argued that it appears to draw heavily from the 1998 blackbuck poaching case associated with him.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/kala-hiran-producer-claims-salman-khan-sent-legal-notice-over-blackbuck-case-film-1780386236178">Kala Hiran producer claims Salman Khan sent legal notice over blackbuck case film</a><h2>Govind Namdev on working in Kala Hiran</h2>Speaking to Amar Ujala, Namdev revealed that he was shocked when he watched the trailer. "As soon as I watched the trailer, I was shaken to the core. I instantly understood that the project is completely different from what I was shot for," he said. "We were never told that a character resembling Salman Khan would be created and misrepresented in this manner in the film. The moment I saw the trailer, I felt like I had been kept in the dark and used. There is a world of difference between what I was told and what has actually been made."&nbsp;According to the actor, the project was initially introduced to him under a different title altogether. "I was told that we were making a film named Sambhal. At that time, I had absolutely no idea that the story would later take a completely different direction," he added.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/kala-hiran-teaser-breakdown-from-blue-stone-bracelet-to-lion-bishnoi-the-clues-and-references-linking-it-to-salman-khan-1781266331349">Kala Hiran teaser breakdown: From, 'blue stone bracelet' to 'Lion Bishnoi' - the clues and references linking it to Salman Khan</a><h2>Govind Namdev explains why he did the film</h2>Namdev further said, "I was informed that there is only a long courtroom scene and that is all I had to do. It was also mentioned that nothing new was being added from our end. We were only supposed to show the audience what had happened in court. I felt that if only the things recorded on file were being shown, then there was nothing wrong with it, which is why I said yes."&nbsp;The actor emphasised that he would never knowingly participate in a film aimed at Salman Khan. "I cannot consider any Bishnoi gang as my ideal. I cannot even think of such a thing. I believed that I was only performing the courtroom portion.

The teaser showcases a character whose appearance bears a resemblance to Salman Khan, leading to allegations that the film portrays a fictionalised version of the actor.&nbsp;While the filmmakers have stated that the characters and events shown are fictional, it draws inspiration from the 1998 blackbuck incident.&nbsp;Following the release of the poster and other promotional materials, Salman Khan has sought a stay on the film's release through the Delhi High Court. The actor’s legal team has said the film is a “blatant reference” to him and offers a false narrative.&nbsp;The court has issued notices to the parties concerned and scheduled further proceedings later this month.

Since the announcement of Kala Hiran, the film has been a centre of controversy. Days after its teaser release, Govind Namdev who appears to play a key role in the film has alleged that he was mislead into doing the film.

Kala Hiran controversy: Govind Namdev claims he was 'kept in the dark' about film targeting Salman Khan

Indian actor Govind Namdev has slammed the Central Board of Film Certification for giving OMG 2 an 'A' or Adult certification. Namdev plays a priest in the new film that is being headlined by Pankaj Tripathi and Akshay Kumar and also stars Yami Gautam.&nbsp; 
 
Namdev took to Facebook to urge CBFC to reconsider its decision of assigning 'A' certificate to the film which is primarily targeted toward teenagers.&nbsp;

<h2>Govind Namdev's Facebook post&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>

Govind Namdev reprises his role of a priest in OMG 2&nbsp;– a sequel to OMG: Oh My God. Namdev took to Facebook and wrote a long note on the film's struggle to get a U/A certification from CBFC. He wrote, "OMG, O MY GOD is released finally with 24 Censor cuts and senseless A certificate so that teenagers should not see the movie for whom the movie is made, And Censor has passed it!”

Govind then compared OMG 2's struggle with CBFC to that of Adipurush. Om Raut's interpretation of the Ramayana was released in June and featured Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan and Kriti Sanon. The film was widely panned for its colloquial and derogatory dialogues that were later corrected by the makers following backlash. The makers also had to issue an apology to enraged fans who stated that the film hurt their religious sentiments.&nbsp;

“Jo dimaag censor board ko Adipurush jaisi behuda film mein lagana chahiye tha wo unhone ‘Oh My God” jaisi thoughtful aur progressive film ko kaatne kootne mein kharch kar diya! Waah (CBFC should've applied some brain while assessing a pathetic film like Adipurush. But instead, they diverted all their brains in chopping a thoughtful and progressive film like OMG 2)," Govind further wrote in the Facebook post.

Namdev requested CBFC to reconsider its decision since OMG 2, based on the taboo subject of sex education, is a film made for and targeted towards teenagers. “It will be a wise step if Censor rectifies its mistake and give at least UA certificate to let a positive revolution set in for the betterment of our society’s teenagers' upbringing," he wrote.

Akshay Kumar starrer OMG 2 was released with Gadar 2 on 11 August. The film received mostly positive reviews from critics. WION's Kshitij Rawat wrote in his review, "OMG 2 is a lot of fun. It manages to strike a nice and delicate balance between dealing with a serious issue (sex education) and delivering moments of genuine laughter and heartfelt emotions."'
