Overview
- Producer Amit Jani said Friday that he received a legal notice from Salman Khan’s team demanding withdrawal of Kala Hiran promotional material and a written apology, and he posted a viral video tearing up what he called the notice while vowing to continue the project.
- Jani told reporters and posted online that his inbox filled with thousands of threatening messages after the announcement, including one that invoked the name of D‑Company, though he acknowledged he could not independently verify every claim.
- Multiple outlets say Salman Khan’s camp has not issued a public response to Jani’s video, and one report quoted Khan’s lawyers as calling the film defamatory and saying the matter is under consideration before the Rajasthan High Court.
- Somy Ali, Salman Khan’s former partner and a frequent critic, publicly backed Jani’s right to make the film, amplifying the dispute beyond a routine legal notice and shifting the story into a larger public debate.
- The clash has focused attention on limits to dramatizing real people and pending cases, creator safety online, and the commercial risks of headline-driven publicity; the film’s teaser is reported to be expected on June 20, a date the production has not independently confirmed.
