Salman Khan has taken legal action against the makers of Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy, prompting the Delhi High Court to issue a notice to the film's production team. The dispute centers around Khan's claim that the upcoming film violates his personality rights by featuring a character that closely resembles him.

Known for his commanding screen presence and signature style, Salman Khan is coming off a string of high-profile releases. His legal team argued before the court that promotional material for Kala Hiran showcases a character not only similar in appearance to Khan but also sporting a bracelet that mirrors his iconic accessory. Though the film does not reference Khan by name, his team asserts that these creative choices amount to a direct association. As per reports, "the film includes references to him, despite not naming him directly," claimed Khan's legal counsel.

The Delhi High Court, recognizing the gravity of the allegations, has demanded a response from the filmmakers and scheduled the next hearing for June 19. While details about the film's cast, director, and production house have yet to be officially highlighted in public statements, the controversy has already stirred considerable buzz in legal and entertainment circles.

As the court date approaches, all eyes are on the outcome of this high-profile dispute, with fans and industry insiders awaiting further developments and clarity on the film’s future.
