Allegations Of Being Asked To Target Salman Khan
Speaking to YouTube channel Bollywood Crazies, Sonu Mmishra said he was initially excited to take on the lead role in Kala Hiran, a film reportedly inspired by the 1998 blackbuck poaching case linked to Salman Khan during the filming of Hum Saath-Saath Hain.
He said, “I was genuinely thrilled to be part of Kala Hiran and portray a character inspired by Salman Khan. I even began filming. But as the story started unfolding, I realised the real intention behind the project wasn’t what I expected.”
The actor further claimed that although he shot for two days, he asked to review the script and official agreement before proceeding further. According to him, this is where concerns emerged.
“After a couple of days of shooting, I requested the script and contract. When it was finally shown to me after delays, it allegedly stated that I would have to speak against Salman Khan in media interactions. That went against my personal ethics, so I stepped away.”
Mmishra maintained that his decision was driven purely by professional principles rather than external pressure or fear.
Claims Of Publicity Tactics And Legal Notice Drama
He also commented on the ongoing publicity surrounding the film, suggesting that some incidents were being amplified for attention. Referring to a legal notice linked to the production, he implied it was being used as a promotional tool rather than a serious legal matter.
The actor said, “From what I observed, the legal notice being torn or discussed wasn’t even directly impactful, it felt more like a strategy to generate hype. It has only helped draw more attention to the project.”
