Kala Hiran Movie: Delhi HC Seeks Salman Khan's Response on 'Kala Hiran' Producer's Plea
The makers say the film raises the same issues already before the court, while Khan’s personality-rights injunction request remains pending.
- On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court sought a response from Bollywood superstar Salman Khan on an application filed by producer Amit Jani seeking to stay proceedings in Khan's suit relating to the proposed film Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy.
- Khan had previously filed a suit for personality rights protection, receiving an ex-parte ad-interim injunction on December 11, 2025; he subsequently moved for interim injunction specifically against the proposed film, which remains pending.
- Producer Jani argued that pursuing both matters separately would constitute parallel litigation over the same film and promotional material, contending that relief sought in current proceedings substantially overlaps with relief already sought in the earlier case.
- Filmmakers maintain Kala Hiran is not a biopic and argued Khan cannot use personality rights "to erase" public events linked to the blackbuck controversy, while Khan accused them of deliberately attempting to "sensationalise" the case for headlines at his expense.
- Khan must respond to the plea before the court considers submissions from both sides; the High Court had previously restrained makers from exploiting the 59-year-old actor's name and distinctive attributes for commercial gain, following a July 27 order directing removal of promotional material.
