NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court on Friday sought the response of the makers of the film Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legal on a plea filed by actor Salman Khan seeking a stay on its release. Khan has alleged that the film is based on the blackbuck poaching case associated with him and violates a previous high court order protecting his personality rights, according to news agency PTI. A vacation bench of Justice Neena Bansal Krishna issued notices to Amit Jani, Akshay Pandey and other respondents on the actor’s application and scheduled the matter for hearing on June 19. During the hearing, the court was informed that although the release date of the film has not been announced, its trailer was released earlier on Friday. Appearing for Khan, his counsel argued that the lead character in the film bears a strong resemblance to the actor in both appearance and attire. In his application, khan said the poster of the film shows that there is a “blatant and obvious reference” to him.“The character depicted has an uncanny resemblance to the plaintiff and is clearly seen wearing a bracelet, which is immediately and promptly identifiable with the plaintiff and no ore else,” stated the application. The actor has sought intervention from the court, claiming that the portrayal infringes upon his protected personality rights.
