Overview
- The Delhi High Court on Wednesday adjourned Salman Khan’s request for an interim injunction against Kala Hiran to July 6 and did not grant a stay on the film’s release.
- The film’s producers told the court they have not submitted Kala Hiran to the Central Board of Film Certification and assured the bench they will not send it for certification before the next hearing.
- Khan’s petition says the movie’s promotional material contains unmistakable references to him, including a lookalike wearing a signature blue bracelet and imagery of a gun tied to his 1998 blackbuck case.
- Producer Amit Jani posted on X that there is ‘no ban’ and touted plans for an 8,000‑screen worldwide release, while at least two cast members, including Govind Namdev, have publicly distanced themselves from the project.
- The case puts the statutory censor checkpoint at the centre of the dispute and frames a larger legal question about where personality rights end and creative freedom begins, with the July 6 hearing likely to shape whether promotional material or the film itself can proceed.
