Delhi High Court deferred hearing on Salman Khan’s plea seeking to restrain the film Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy, after filmmakers sought time to respond. Khan argued personality and publicity rights were violated as the project allegedly depicts his life linked to the 1998 blackbuck case. The matter is listed for July 1 hearing

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday deferred hearing on actor Salman Khan's plea seeking to restrain the filming, promotion and release of the proposed movie Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy, after counsel appearing for the filmmakers sought time to respond to the application.

The matter was heard by the vacation bench of Justice Madhu Jain.

Senior Advocate Sandeep Sethi, appearing for Khan, urged the Court to grant interim protection, contending that the filmmakers were attempting to commercially exploit the actor's life and persona without his consent.

"He is producing a film on my life and tearing up the notice. He has no right to make a film of my life. I am seeking an interim injunction. The teaser has already been released," Sethi submitted.
