The legal fight over the film Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy has taken a new turn. The Delhi High Court has adjourned the hearing on Salman Khan’s plea to stop the film’s release until July 6. The court did not give any interim order against the film. This means the film can move ahead with its release for now.
Producer Amit Jani reacted to the court’s decision on social media. He said that since the court did not grant any relief to Salman Khan, the film will release as planned. According to India Today, Jani expressed confidence that the film would hit screens without any delay.
What Salman Khan’s Plea Says
Salman Khan approached the Delhi High Court claiming that the film violates his personality rights. He said the film’s promotional material uses a lookalike who wears his signature blue bracelet. The actor also objected to references in the film about his 1998 blackbuck poaching case and his alleged rivalry with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The court has not yet made a final decision on these claims.
Producer Amit Jani’s Reaction
After the hearing, Amit Jani took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his reaction. He pointed out that Salman Khan did not get any interim relief from the court. Jani said the film will release in 8000 cinema halls across the country. According to NDTV, the producer stated that the film has not been submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification yet, but he is confident about the release plan.

What Happens Next
The next hearing is scheduled for July 6. Until then, the film’s release can continue. The court will hear both sides again and decide whether to stop the film or allow it to release. For now, the producer is moving ahead with plans to release the film on a large scale.
Our Take: A Clear Win for the Producer — For Now
In our view, this is a significant moment for the producer. The court did not stop the film, which gives Amit Jani the green light to proceed. Salman Khan’s claims about personality rights are serious, but the court has not yet agreed with them. This shows that the legal system is taking time to examine the evidence. For readers, this means the film is likely to hit screens soon, unless the court changes its mind on July 6. The producer’s confidence in releasing on 8000 screens suggests he believes the law is on his side.
