Salman Khan Moves To Delhi High Court Against Kala Hiran Makers, Seeks Stay On Release
The actor contends that although his name may not be explicitly used, the film's posters, promotional content and public statements by those associated with the project make him readily identifiable to viewers.
Salman Khan has approached the Delhi High Court seeking interim relief against the makers of the film Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy, alleging a "gross violation of personality rights," as it is loosely based on the 1998 blackbuck hunting case.
An application under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure has been filed in an already pending commercial suit before the High Court, seeking an ad-interim injunction restraining the film's producer Amit Jani, Jani FireFox Films, director Bharat Shrinate, Akshay Pandey and other persons associated with the project from producing, promoting, distributing, exhibiting, streaming or releasing the film pending adjudication of the suit.
The actor contends that although his name may not be explicitly used, the film's posters, promotional content and public statements by those associated with the project make him readily identifiable to viewers.
The application also refers to media reports and public statements attributed to producer Amit Jani in which the proposed film was described as being inspired by the blackbuck case and the dispute involving gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
