Delhi HC Seeks Salman Khan's Reply To Producer's Stay Plea In 'Kala Hiran' Film Dispute

New Delhi [India], October 6 - The Delhi High Court requested Bollywood star Salman Khan to respond to an application filed by producer Amit Jani, requesting a stay on the hearing of Khan's suit over the proposed film Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy. The application was heard by Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani. Jani's counsel argued that similar relief had been sought in a prior case pending before the High Court and requested the proceedings be halted until the earlier case is resolved.

Khan's attorney, Ravi Prakash, stated he would submit a reply to the application. During the hearing, the court clarified the type of relief being requested. Khan's legal team argued that his initial suit focused on protecting his personality rights, and a subsequent film was announced, allegedly based on an incident from Khan's life.

They relied on statements and interviews attributed to the producer in their pursuit of relief concerning promotional materials and the movie's development. The court instructed Khan's counsel to file a response to Jani's application and scheduled the matter for further consideration on December 16. The controversy revolves around the film Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy, which parties have tied to the 1998 blackbuck case involving Khan.
