So this whole Salman Khan movie controversy is taking another turn . Just when you think things are settled,something new comes up .
And now,the Delhi High Court has deferred the hearing on his plea against this upcoming movie,Kala Hiran: Battle for Legacy . decision came on June 19,2026 after filmmakers basically said they need more time to prepare their side .
Salman's argument is pretty straightforward . His lawyer,Senior Advocate Sandeep Sethi,is saying filmmakers are trying to exploit his life and persona without getting any permission. He's claiming it violates his personality and publicity rights,which tbh,is a serious allegation.
The legal team also says promotional stuff for the film is already out,and it's creating a misleading picture which could damage his reputation .
And honestly,this is where things get uncomfortable.
They are worried because the whole film seems to be connected to the 1998 blackbuck hunting case . Salman's side is concerned the movie might misrepresent him and cause problems for his ongoing legal issues. Not a small thing ah.
The court has told Khan's counsel to give all pleadings to the filmmakers quickly . next hearing is now set for July 1.
Few things standing out clearly in this case:
- Salman Khan's plea deferred — court has postponed the hearing for further responses.
- Concerns over publicity rights — the film allegedly exploits Khan's life without consent.
- Legal implications of blackbuck case — ongoing disputes may affect Khan's reputation .
But the filmmakers' request for more time was also noted by court,as they had only received the application few days before hearing . Salman's lawyer opposed this delay,saying the matter was urgent.
It really makes you think about how these 'inspired by true events' movies work . Where is the line between creative freedom and just using a celebrity's controversial past for profit… it's all very messy.
