He has no right to make a movie of my life. I&#8217;m searching for an interim injunction. The teaser has already been released,&#8221; Sethi submitted before the court.<\/p>\n<p>In accordance with Khan&#8217;s legal team, the actor&#8217;s consent was never obtained for the project despite alleged references to events associated along with his life and legal history. The filmmakers&#8217; counsel, nonetheless, requested time to put their response on record, stating that that they had received a duplicate of the appliance only recently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dispute over alleged use of actor&#8217;s identity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Salman Khan&#8217;s plea centres on claims that <em>Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy<\/em> draws inspiration from the 1998 blackbuck hunting case, despite not explicitly naming the actor.<\/p>\n<p>In accordance with the appliance, promotional material released for the film comprises visual and contextual references that make Khan identifiable to the general public. The plea cites a poster released in May 2026 that allegedly depicts a personality resembling the actor and wearing a bracelet much like his well-known blue one.<\/p>\n<p>The actor has also objected to promotional content that allegedly portrays the character carrying a firearm, arguing that such depictions create a misleading impression, particularly since he was acquitted in proceedings related to the Arms Act.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concerns over pending legal matters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The applying further argues that portions of the proposed film seem like based on issues which might be still pending before higher courts. In accordance with Khan&#8217;s legal team, the dissemination of such material could potentially influence public perception and affect ongoing legal proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>In the course of the hearing, Sethi also argued that the respondents mustn&#8217;t be permitted to proceed using Salman Khan&#8217;s identity and public image for promotional purposes without authorization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Filmmakers oppose interim injunction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The respondents opposed the grant of any interim relief.<\/p>\n<p>In the course of the proceedings, counsel representing the filmmakers informed the court that he had allegedly been receiving death threats and had filed an FIR in reference to the matter.<\/p>\n<p>After hearing submissions from each side, the court noted that counsel for the producer and director had only recently received the whole pleadings. It directed Salman Khan&#8217;s legal team to supply the total set of documents to the respondents throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>The respondents within the case include producer Amit Jani, Jani FireFox Movies, director Bharat Shrinate, Akshay Pandey, and other individuals related to the project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0\u201cSalman Khan isn\u2019t God, he can\u2019t stop me\u201d: Kala Hiran director fires back amid legal notice row over alleged similarities<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\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>\u00a0The Delhi High Court on Friday deferred the hearing on actor Salman Khan&#8217;s plea searching for to restrain the filming, promotion, and release of the proposed film Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy.
