Salman Khan is once again at the centre of headlines as the film 'Kala Hiran' stirs up reminders of his 1998 blackbuck poaching case. The Bollywood superstar, who was shooting for Sooraj Barjatya’s 'Hum Saath Saath Hain' in Jodhpur alongside Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam, and Karisma Kapoor at the time, has consistently denied any involvement in the incident that has haunted his public image for decades.
With the unveiling of 'Kala Hiran's' first look poster, speculation has been rife that the film draws inspiration from Salman Khan’s long-standing legal battle. The actor’s legal team has responded promptly, issuing notices to the makers of 'Kala Hiran' and asserting that the project could damage his reputation and infringe on his personality rights. As per the legal notice, "the film could harm Salman Khan’s reputation and violate his personality rights."
The controversy finds its roots in a Jodhpur trial court’s guilty verdict against Salman Khan, which resulted in a five-year prison sentence before he was subsequently granted bail. The makers of 'Kala Hiran' have not yet officially replied to the notice, and the industry is keenly watching for their stance.
With legal proceedings now in motion, both fans and industry insiders await further developments, curious to see how this high-profile dispute will unfold.
