'Kala Hiran: Battle for Legacy' release stalled pending CBFC approval
Kala Hiran: Battle for Legacy isn't hitting screens just yet: the film still needs CBFC approval, and even its OTT release is on hold.
This update came as Amit Jani's counsel spoke to the Delhi High Court during a hearing sparked by Salman Khan's request to pause the film's release.
Khan alleges 'Kala Hiran' invents crimes
Khan's legal team says the movie portrays him through his name, likeness, mannerisms, distinctive personal attributes, iconic films, and widely publicized events associated with him, tying him to the 1998 blackbuck case and making him look guilty despite multiple acquittals.
They argue that the film invents crimes like underworld links and witness tampering, which could hurt his right to a fair trial.
The matter will next be heard on September 30, so this saga isn't over yet.
