“Salman Khan isn’t God, he can’t stop me”: Kala | Indian Movie News
The controversy surrounding Kala Hiran: Battle of Legacy continues to intensify after Salman Khan’s group reportedly despatched a legal discover to the makers of the movie over alleged similarities between its lead character and the Bollywood celebrity. However, producer Amit Jani and director Bharat S Shrinate have maintained that the movie isn’t based on Khan’s life and that the comparisons being drawn are misplaced.
The debate gained momentum after the movie’s first-look posters surfaced online. Many social media customers identified the uncanny resemblance between the protagonist and Salman Khan, with specific consideration being drawn to the signature bracelet worn by the character.

Addressing the controversy in an interview with News18, director Bharat S Shrinate strongly rejected the claims and defended the inventive selections made in the movie. “The bracelet isn’t a patented accessory. If Salman feels that only he can wear it, he should get it patented. That bracelet shouldn’t be made available anywhere else in the world. I completely disagree with the narrative that this film or this character is based on Salman. Our character isn’t Salman Khan. This is just a film!”
Shrinate additional argued that the resemblance between the actor and Salman Khan is only coincidental and not the outcome of deliberate efforts by the makers. “Nawazuddin Siddiqui had once played the role of Balasaheb Thackeray in a film – Thackeray. He was made to look like him through prosthetics and make-up. But in our film, we haven’t made use of any prosthetics. Our actor naturally looks like Salman,” he said and continued, “I can’t change how he looks. I couldn’t have used prosthetics on him to make him look like someone that he’s not. Kya kar sakte hai? Agar kisi ko pareshaani ho rahi hai isse, toh main kya bolu (What can we do? If someone feels troubled, what can I say in this matter)?”
The filmmaker also addressed the legal motion reportedly initiated against the project and expressed disappointment over makes an attempt to halt the movie’s release. “Salman Khan isn’t God. He isn’t my godfather. He can’t stop me. Neither can he destroy me and my career nor make me and my career.” He also went on add, “But ultimately, it’s the audience who’ll decide the impact and value of the film. Our film has been made with the collective effort of so many people. And now, suddenly, someone has sent us a legal notice. They’re trying to stall our film. Bura toh lagta hai. A lot of planning and research goes into writing and making a film. And we’ve been planning to make this film for years.”
He also shared, “Ek jhatke mein legal notice bhejna matlab saari mehnat ko rok dena (Sending a legal notice immediately means destroying all the hard work that has gone into it until now). He’s doing it because he feels the film is about him. He should go and watch the film first and then decide”.
As the legal and public debate continues, Kala Hiran: Battle of Legacy stays at the centre of a growing controversy, with both sides standing firm on their respective positions.
