Salman Khan vs Kala Hiran: Delhi High Court seeks reply from actor on Amit Jani’s plea seeking stay on proceedings

 The Delhi High Court has asked Salman Khan to reply to a request made by filmmaker Amit Jani.Jani wants the court to pause the legal process in Khan's civil case related to the movie Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy.The case was discussed by Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani.Jani's lawyer said that the legal requests made by Khan in this case are very similar to those in another case that is still being heard by the court.


During the hearing, Jani's team argued that Khan is trying to take on the same issue in two different legal processes.

They asked the court to stop the new case until the earlier one is resolved.Salman Khan's lawyer, Ravi Prakash, promised to submit Khan's official response to the court.


The court also wanted to understand the exact reasons behind Khan's legal claims.

Prakash explained that Khan first asked the court to protect his image and public recognition.The court gave Khan temporary protection in December 2025.


Khan's lawyers said that after that order, the film crew released promo videos and gave media interviews that compared the movie to parts of Khan's life, like the famous 1998 blackbuck poaching incident in Rajasthan.

They claimed that these similarities could damage Khan's reputation.


Khan then asked the court to stop the spread of the film's promotional material and delay its release.

The situation got worse in July 2026 when the court told the filmmakers to remove the film's first digital teaser and some social media posts.The court also ordered that the film couldn't use Khan's name, image, or any recognizable features without his permission.


As the case moved on, the court considered whether the film was ready for release.

Jani's team said the film wasn't complete and hadn't been submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for approval.They also said that the film's official trailer had not been released yet.


The possibility of releasing the film online was also discussed.

The court considered Khan's concerns about the film or its promo content being released on digital platforms like OTT services.


Jani's team has kept opposing Khan's request for court orders, saying they shouldn't be granted.

The latest hearing was about the filmmaker's argument that the current case is similar to an earlier one already being heard by the court.


Justice Bhambhani has now asked Salman Khan's lawyer to file Khan's detailed reply.

The case has been set for a full hearing on December 16, 2026.


The case involves conflicting legal arguments about Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy, and the court has not yet decided on the main points brought up in the most recent filing.

Ram Gopal Varma reacts to Janhvi Kapoor ‘Chuttamalle’ song deepfake row: “The smart thing would have been to concentrate on catching the perpetrator

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has spoken about the controversy surrounding a deepfake video of Janhvi Kapoor linked to the song "Chuttamalle." He also shared his thoughts on how the situation was handled by celebrities.On X, he expressed his views on the way things unfolded.

Varma said, "The smart thing would have been to focus on finding the person who created the deepfake." He criticized the way celebrities reacted, saying they focused more on spreading awareness about the video rather than finding the person behind it.

He also mentioned that instead of condemning the deepfake, they should have highlighted the perpetrator's actions.

In another tweet, he wrote, "When you can't win, you should join.
If you fight AI, it will erase you from existence." He suggested that instead of publicizing the victim, the focus should have been on taking action against those creating and spreading the fake content.

This incident has sparked a big discussion online.
Janhvi Kapoor has been at the center of this controversy after a deepfake video of her was shared on social media, using the "Chuttamalle" song in an inappropriate way.On October 5, she wrote a detailed message sharing her feelings about the event and expressing her sadness over such crimes.

Janhvi has received a lot of support from her fans and followers.
Her co-star in "Devara," Jr NTR, also posted a strong message about the issue.Other big names from the South film industry, including Chiranjeevi, have also joined the conversation.

The situation has shown two different approaches.
One is to publicly condemn the deepfake and stand by the victim, which is what Janhvi and her supporters are doing.The other is to focus on finding and taking action against the person behind the deepfake, which is what Varma is suggesting.Both sides share the same concern about AI misuse but have different ideas on how to respond.
