The Controversy: Salman Khan’s Legal Notice or Just a Threat?
A fresh storm is brewing in Bollywood after producer Amit Jani claimed that Salman Khan’s legal team has sent a notice regarding his upcoming film Kala Hiran. According to Jani, the notice is an attempt to intimidate him into dropping the project. However, neither Salman Khan nor his representatives have confirmed or responded to the allegation as of now.
Jani took to social media to share his side of the story, writing, “Salman Khan has started threatening people related to Kala Hiran movie by giving legal notice, the purpose of notice is just to scare so that people bow down to glamour. Has his habit is scaring. My nature is not scared. He thinks I am dead. Tell him I’m not dead.” The post has since gone viral, with fans and industry insiders split over the claims.
The Poster That Sparked It All: Bracelet and Blackbuck References
The controversy erupted after Jani unveiled the first poster of Kala Hiran, which translates to “Blackbuck.” Social media users were quick to point out that the poster features a man wearing a fitted T-shirt and a silver-turquoise bracelet — an accessory style widely associated with Salman Khan’s signature look. Many online have speculated that the imagery is a deliberate nod to the actor’s infamous blackbuck hunting case from 1998.
Salman Khan was convicted in 2018 for hunting two blackbucks during the shoot of Hum Saath-Saath Hain near Jodhpur. He later secured bail and the case has continued through appeals. Jani has described Kala Hiran as being inspired by real-life events, further fueling the connection in the eyes of social media users. However, no official link between the film and Salman Khan’s legal troubles has been established.
Producer Amit Jani Fires Back: ‘My Nature Is Not Scared’
In his explosive social media post, Jani made it clear he is not backing down. He accused Salman of using his star power to bully small producers. “He thinks I am dead. Tell him I’m not dead,” Jani wrote, adding that the notice is merely a scare tactic. The producer also claimed that the legal action is meant to force him to capitulate to “glamour” — a dig at the industry’s power dynamics.
As of now, Salman Khan’s team has remained tight-lipped. No official statement has been issued by the actor or his lawyers. The ball is now in Salman’s court — will he respond to Jani’s allegations, or will this controversy fizzle out like so many others? For now, the internet is buzzing, and all eyes are on what comes next.
