The legal battle surrounding Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy has escalated after the Delhi High Court postponed the hearing on Salman Khan’s plea seeking to halt the film’s release until July 6. With no interim relief granted during the latest proceedings, producer Amit Jani has publicly asserted that the controversial film will eventually release on a massive global scale.
The courtroom developments have sparked widespread discussion among Bollywood fans, legal experts, and industry insiders, making Kala Hiran one of the most talked-about entertainment controversies in recent weeks.
Delhi High Court Adjourns Salman Khan’s Plea Till July 6
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan approached the Delhi High Court, alleging that Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy infringes upon his personality rights. According to the actor’s plea, the film’s promotional content allegedly contains direct references to his personal life and public controversies.
The objections reportedly include the portrayal of a character resembling Salman Khan, complete with a signature blue bracelet, along with references linked to the 1998 blackbuck poaching case and the actor’s widely reported disputes involving gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
During the latest hearing, the Delhi High Court did not issue any interim order restraining the film’s release and scheduled the matter for further consideration on July 6.
Producer Amit Jani Responds After Court Proceedings
Shortly after the hearing concluded, producer Amit Jani reacted strongly on social media platform X, emphasizing that Salman Khan had not received immediate relief from the court.
In his statement, Jani claimed that the judiciary does not differentiate between celebrities and ordinary citizens while deciding legal matters. He further reiterated his confidence that Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy would eventually reach audiences worldwide.
The producer also made a bold claim that the film is being planned for a release across approximately 8,000 cinema halls globally, highlighting the scale of his ambitions despite the ongoing legal challenges.
Film Yet to Be Submitted to CBFC, Court Told
During the proceedings, counsel representing the film’s producers informed Justice Jyoti Singh that Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy has not yet been submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for approval.
When questioned by the court regarding the film’s release schedule, the producers clarified that no official release date has been finalized. They further assured the court that the film would not be submitted for certification before the next hearing date.
The submission played a key role in the court’s decision to defer the matter, especially since the producer’s rejoinder was yet to be placed on record.
