Bollywood actor Salman Khan has got a big relief from Delhi High Court. The court has ordered to immediately remove the teaser of the upcoming Hindi film ‘Black Deer: The Battle for Legacy’ and all online links related to it. The court held that the promotion of the film could harm Salman Khan’s image as it linked him to the 1998 blackbuck poaching case.
Court’s harsh comment
While hearing the case, Justice Jyoti Singh said that once the image gets spoiled, it does not come back. The court orally said that such publicity has to be stopped immediately.
The court also indicated that interviews given by the film’s producer Amit Jani would also be removed from the internet. Apart from this, the court accepted that through the teaser an attempt is being made to link the actor to the gangster Lawrence Bishnoi controversy.

Reason for Salman Khan’s objection
Salman Khan had said in his petition that even though his name has not been taken directly in the teaser and poster, he can be clearly identified. The teaser shows a man wearing his signature blue bracelet and holding a gun.

Salman said that the court has already acquitted him in the Arms Act case, hence the gun scene creates misunderstanding among the people. He alleged that the makers were using his name and identity for earning money without his permission.
