Salman Khan's lawyer, Nizam Pasha, told the court that a promotional poster released on May 29 showed a character that looked very much like the actor.
He said the person in the poster was also wearing a bracelet similar to one that is closely associated with Salman Khan. According to the lawyer, the film is breaking a Delhi High Court order from December 11, 2025, which protects the actor's personality rights.
During the court hearing, Pasha again said that the project is violating an earlier court order that protected Salman Khan's identity and related features.
The court was also told that even though the makers had not officially announced a release date, the film's trailer was released on Friday, despite earlier plans to unveil it on June 20.
Pasha also mentioned the legal issues related to the blackbuck poaching case, stating that the matters are still being decided.
He said that four FIRs had been filed in connection with the case, and that Salman Khan had already been cleared in three of them, while a Special Leave Petition (SLP) is still pending without any final decision. The lawyer argued that the filmmakers were trying to make money by using Salman Khan's identity and asked the court to block the release of the movie.
When the court asked about the release plans for the film, Khan's team said that no official release date had been given by the producers.
In his petition, Salman Khan said that the film's promotional material clearly references him.
He claimed that the character shown in the publicity content looked very much like him and was wearing a bracelet that is one of his most recognized personal items.
Khan has said that using his image, likeness, and other recognizable features without permission is a violation of his personality rights and legal protections.
