The Delhi High Court orders the takedown of the teaser and related promotional material for “Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy” after Salman Khan files a plea alleging violation of his personality and publicity rights. Multiple reports say the court finds the teaser prima facie infringes Salman Khan’s rights, and directs that the content be removed within 24 hours, including any associated promotional material. Alongside the teaser removal, the court also indicates interim restrictions affecting online interviews or other promotional content featuring the film’s producer, Amit Jani, though the exact scope is described slightly differently across outlets. The filmmakers and producer deny the allegations and contend the project is not a biographical depiction of Salman Khan. Reports also note that Salman Khan raises further arguments, including that the film is linked to the 1998 blackbuck case and may harm his reputation and affect his fair trial rights. After the order, the film’s director says he will approach the Supreme Court, while the High Court’s interim relief remains in effect pending further legal proceedings.
