Recently, Govind Namdev, who starred with Salman in Prabhu Deva’s 2009 hit Wanted, distanced himself from the film. “As soon as I watched the teaser, I was shaken to the core. I instantly understood that the project is completely different from what I had shot for,” he told Amar Ujala, claiming that the filmmakers kept him in the dark about how the lead character would be portrayed. He stated that had he known from the outset how the film would eventually be presented, he would have refused the project immediately. Producer Amit Jani has now revealed that a legal notice has been served to Govind over his remarks. As part of the notice, Amit has sought a public apology from the veteran actor within seven days and has also demanded compensation of ₹50 lakh. Amit took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share the update. The post read, “Legal notice served to Govind Namdev . Demand public apology within 7 days and pay a fine of 50 lakh rupees to the production house, otherwise legal action will be taken.” While the makers of Kala Hiran have refrained from naming Salman Khan in the film, the first-look teaser introduced a character called Ayaan Khan, whose appearance and persona bear a striking resemblance to the Bollywood superstar.What do we know about the film
Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy is produced by Amit Jani under Jani FireFox Films and directed by Bharat S Shrinate. The teaser showed Kashif Iqbal Khan in the lead role. The film will allegedly detail the 1998 blackbuck poaching case involving Salman Khan during the filming of Hum Saath – Saath Hain. Actor Sonu Mmishra, who played a supporting role in AR Murugadoss’ Salman Khan-starrer Sikandar, recently spoke to the press about being offered the controversial film Kala Hiran. He claimed that he walked out of the film after shooting for a couple of days, alleging that he was asked to speak against the Bollywood star to promote the film. After Salman sent a legal notice to Amit, the producer claimed to have received death threats. He even tore the legal notice in public.
