Producer Appeals Supreme Court Against Delhi HC Order on 'Kala Hiran' Teaser Removal
Film producer Amit Jani has appealed to the Supreme Court against a Delhi High Court order directing the removal of the teaser and promotional material for 'Kala Hiran: The Battle For Legacy'. The film is reportedly inspired by Bollywood actor Salman Khan's 1998 blackbuck poaching case. The High Court ruled that the teaser infringed on Khan's personality rights and could harm his reputation. Jani argues this order restricts freedom of expression and amounts to censorship, while Salman Khan's legal team contends the film commercially exploits his identity without consent. The Supreme Court will now review the case.
