On Monday, the Delhi High Court ordered the removal of X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube links associated with the film ‘Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy’. This decision came during the hearing of a petition filed by Salman Khan. The Court also expressed displeasure regarding the conduct of the film's producer, Amit Jani.

**What did the Court say?**
During the hearing, the Court made stern remarks, stating, "No order was passed last time, which is why you have become emboldened. It seems you consider yourself above the law. Your behavior is deteriorating day by day."

**The Makers' Stance**
Amit Jani's counsel argued that it was merely a teaser and that Salman Khan’s name was not even mentioned. They further contended that no AI or deepfake technology was used and asserted that no one holds exclusive rights over specific events or public information.

**Salman Khan’s Argument**
Counsel for Salman Khan stated that he had been acquitted in three of the four cases related to the blackbuck incident, while the sentence in the remaining case had been stayed. It was also alleged that the film was an attempt to incite a specific community against him.

**What is the entire matter about?**
The controversy began when Salman Khan filed a petition in the Delhi High Court seeking to halt the release of the film ‘Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy’. He claims the film is inspired by the blackbuck poaching case involving him and could damage his reputation.

He also requested the Court to order the removal of all posters, teasers, and promotional content related to the film.

**The Makers' Response**
In response to a legal notice sent on June 2, Amit Jani denied the allegations, stating that the film is based on information available in the public domain and depicts the story of the Bishnoi community's efforts to protect wildlife.

For now, the controversy surrounding the film appears to be escalating following the Court's order. It remains to be seen what the final verdict in this case will be.
