Salman Khan Faces Setback as Delhi HC Refuses Urgent Relief in Kala Hiran Film Case, Next Hearing in July
The court directed Salman Khan’s legal team to share pleadings with the filmmakers after they opposed interim relief and denied the film was based on him.
- On Friday, the Delhi High Court deferred the hearing on actor Salman Khan's petition to stop the film Kala Hiran, directing his legal team to provide full pleadings to respondents before July 1.
- Representing Salman, Senior Advocate Sandeep Sethi argued that filmmakers are capitalizing on the actor's identity without consent, noting promotional content for Kala Hiran mirrors the 1998 poaching case.
- Counsel for the filmmakers requested additional time to respond to the application. During the hearing, they informed Justice Madhu Jain that they filed an FIR following alleged death threats.
- Director Bharat S Shrinate denied the film is based on Salman, comparing their actor's natural likeness to Nawazuddin Siddiqui's portrayal of Balasaheb Thackeray. Producer Amit Jani issued a legal notice seeking Rs 50 lakh in damages.
- Both parties prepare for the July 1 hearing as the legal dispute continues. The conflict highlights the ongoing debate over boundaries between incidental casting and unauthorized exploitation of a public figure's identity.
