Addressing the media during a recent press conference, Mishra revealed that he was initially approached for the film but was never handed over an official agreement for the film and hence, he decided to walk away after developing concerns concerning the project\u2019s portrayal of Salman Khan.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about his decision, Sonu Mishra said, &#8220;I used to be a lot excited because I used to be imagined to play the role of superstar Salman Khan. I had also began the shooting of the film. But when the intent is negative, being an actor, I don&#8217;t need to be a component of such a movie. Little question that they&#8217;ve a standpoint. But you&#8217;re showing superstar Salman Khan in a negative way and showing a one-sided narrative.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The actor further claimed that he sought clarity regarding the script and contractual terms before deciding to step away from the project. &#8220;I left because I had not signed the agreement. We shot for 2 days, and I asked them for the agreement and script because they were making a one-sided narrative story against a superstar. So, they understood I used to be not going to fall into their trap. I asked for the agreement to know what all clauses are there in it. After a protracted time, they showed me things, and it was revealed that I needed to speak negatively against the star within the media. So, all this stuff were against my ethics\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<p>The event comes at a time when Salman Khan and his legal team have approached the Delhi High Court searching for a ban on the film and its promotional material. The petition reportedly argues that the project violates the actor\u2019s personality rights and is predicated on an ongoing legal matter that&#8217;s under sub judice.\u00a0 The Delhi High Court has taken note of the matter and issued a notice to the makers of the film. The following hearing within the case is scheduled to happen on June 19.<\/p>\n<p>With legal scrutiny increasing and key members distancing themselves from the project, the long run of <em>Kala Hiran: Battle of Legacy<\/em> stays uncertain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read<\/strong>: Delhi High Court issues notices to \u2018Kala Hiran\u2019 makers after Salman Khan moves court over personality rights<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<div class=\"entry-tags\">\n<div class=\"tag-links\"><strong>Tags : <\/strong> Amit Jani, Blackbuck Case, Bollywood, Case, Controversy, Delhi High Court, Kala Hiran, Kala Hiran Battle of Legacy, Legal, News, Salman Khan, Sonu Mishra<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 alt=\"Bollywood News - Live Updates\" title=\"Bollywood News - Live Updates\" style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\">BOLLYWOOD NEWS &#8211; LIVE UPDATES<\/h2>\n<p>Catch us for up to date Bollywood News, Latest Bollywood Movies update, Box office collection, Latest Movies Release , Bollywood News Hindi, Entertainment News, Bollywood Live News Today &#038; Upcoming Movies 2026 and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;); }); The controversy surrounding Kala Hiran: Battle of Legacy continues to accentuate.
