Salman’s legal team sends notice to Kala Hiran makers
Salman Khan’s legal team has sent a legal notice to casting director Akshay Pandey of Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy, a film believed to be based on Salman’s blackbuck hunting case. According to News18, the notice, dated April 24, 2026, demands an immediate halt to the development and promotion of the film. The film is directed by Bharat Srinate and produced by Amit Jani.
The notice alleges that the film could interfere with ongoing judicial proceedings related to the case and violate Salman’s personality rights. It also claims that the project could harm his reputation. Since the blackbuck case is still pending before the Rajasthan High Court, the legal notice argues that the film may interfere with the legal process. The notice states that a sensationalised portrayal of the case could create prejudice against Salman and compromise his right to a fair trial.
Salman Khan’s legal team has also alleged that they became aware of the project after Akshay Pandey was reportedly approaching actors and circulating materials such as the film’s synopsis and character sketches, referring to Salman’s blackbuck case. The notice further states that the actor has not authorised or consented to any such use of his name, persona, or events allegedly connected to him.
The notice further alleges that the project violates Salman’s personality and publicity rights because it contains references to him and events associated with him. It accuses the filmmakers of attempting to benefit from Salman’s fame and goodwill while creating a perceived association between the actor and the project.
The notice also describes the film as defamatory, alleging that it contains false and misleading imputations that could damage Salman Khan’s reputation and professional standing. It further accuses the makers of generating controversy at the expense of the actor’s image.
