Kala Hiran Row: Salman Khan Case Gets New Court Update
The court said the reply affidavit was not on record as producer Amit Jani opposed the petition and said the film will release on 7,000 to 8,000 screens.
- On Wednesday, the Delhi High Court deferred the hearing on actor Salman Khan's petition seeking to halt the promotion and release of the film 'Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy' after noting that the reply affidavit remains outstanding.
- Khan's legal team argues the film violates his personality rights, necessitating interim protection, while producer Amit Jani opposes the plea, asserting the film highlights the 20-year struggle of the Bishnoi community and that Khan cannot dictate subject matter.
- Jani claimed he received threats from a Pakistan-based individual named Shahzad Bhatti demanding settlement with the actor, while producers plan to release the film worldwide on 7,000 to 8,000 screens, stating "Salman Khan is not God."
- During the proceedings, filmmakers submitted a fresh undertaking to the court, assuring the judge that neither the film nor its trailer would be released, nor would they submit the project to the Central Board of Film Certification before the next hearing.
- The court scheduled the next hearing for July 6, with Jani expressing confidence that the judiciary will decide based solely on legal merits, noting that stardom has no bearing on judicial outcomes.
