Actor Sonu Mishra has exited the controversial film ‘Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy,’ according to multiple reports. Mishra was initially slated to portray Salman Khan’s character in the project. He says he withdrew after concluding the film’s intent is to tarnish the image of a senior actor, calling it a form of propaganda. Mishra’s remarks are framed as a response to what he perceived as a negative agenda behind the film.

The reports also note that Salman Khan is pursuing legal action connected to the project. He has approached the Delhi High Court seeking to halt the film’s production and release, alleging that his identity is being used without consent. The outlets’ accounts center on the intersection of Mishra’s departure and Salman Khan’s ongoing court challenge, with Mishra attributing his exit to concerns about the film’s messaging and Salman Khan arguing for legal stoppage on the grounds of unauthorized use of his persona.
