The controversy surrounding the film 'Kala Hiran' continues to escalate following reports that Salman Khan's legal team issued a notice to the filmmakers, alleging similarities between the film and the actor's blackbuck poaching case. Producer Amit Jani had previously accused the actor of employing intimidation tactics, while director Bharat S. Shrinate has now broken his silence, stating that his experience with 'Udaipur Files' has prepared him for legal challenges and public scrutiny.

In an interview with NDTV, director Bharat S. Shrinate addressed the reports of Salman Khan's legal notice. He revealed that he has grown accustomed to handling legal pressures and criticism over time. Currently occupied with his editor and team, Shrinate emphasized that his work on 'Udaipur Files' taught him how to fight legal battles. "Udaipur Files has taught me how to fight," he stated, adding that legal notices no longer make him "feel down anymore." He remarked that people act according to their own sense of right and wrong. "It's a legal notice, and it will be answered," he concluded.
Deepening Row Over Alleged Blackbuck Case References
The row surrounding 'Kala Hiran' has deepened after reports claimed that Khan's legal team served a notice to the makers over alleged references to his 1998 blackbuck poaching case. The notice reportedly called for halting the film's release and removing its promotional material from social media platforms. The film's poster, which features a character resembling Salman Khan, including a bracelet similar to his signature style, has drawn significant attention.
Producer Amit Jani Alleges Intimidation
Reacting to the reports, producer Amit Jani took to Facebook to share images of the alleged notice. He accused Salman Khan of attempting to suppress voices through pressure tactics. "The purpose of the notices is to intimidate people so that they succumb to his glamour," Jani wrote, adding, "It's his habit to intimidate. It's my nature to not be intimidated." As of now, Salman Khan and his legal team have not issued any official response regarding the matter.
Film Based on 1998 Blackbuck Poaching Controversy
'Kala Hiran' is an upcoming film reportedly based on the 1998 blackbuck poaching controversy involving Salman Khan and his 'Hum Saath Saath Hain' co-stars. The project drew attention after its first-look poster showed a character resembling the actor, including a bracelet similar to Salman's signature style. The film is said to explore the alleged hunting incident, the prolonged legal proceedings, Salman's arrest, and the extensive media coverage that followed. It is also expected to touch upon the Lawrence Bishnoi connection and feature courtroom drama elements.
