The actor has alleged that Kala Hiran portrays him as having links to the underworld and that the film’s poster is defamatory, violating his personality rights.
He further contended that the film infringes upon his right to a fair trial in the alleged blackbuck hunting case, as proceedings related to the matter remain pending before the Rajasthan High Court and the Supreme Court.
According to Khan, the film’s poster, released on May 29, features a character bearing a close physical resemblance to him and wearing a distinctive bracelet associated with the actor.
The application also cites media reports and a press conference by Jani, arguing that they leave little doubt that the film is based on the sub judice blackbuck hunting incident.
The petition states that Khan initially sent a legal notice to the filmmakers. However, he alleges that Jani publicly tore up the notice during an interview available online and later posted on X that he was being threatened by Khan and the underworld.
