Reacting to the High Court’s order, Amit Jani took to X (formerly Twitter) and asserted that the film’s release would not be affected.

“When the Delhi High Court stayed Udaipur Files, the jihadis were overjoyed, just as they are today over the decision to remove the Kala Hiran teaser. But Udaipur Files was released worldwide, and Kala Hiran will be too,” read his post when translated from Hindi to English.

Jani also claimed that Salman Khan’s legal challenge would not impact the film’s eventual release.

“Salman Khan’s lie won’t hold up for long in court. This is only temporary relief, not the final decision. Kala Hiran will release on the scheduled date. Jai Hind,” he wrote.
