Growing controversy over the film ‘Black Deer’
Rampur The controversy regarding the film ‘Black Deer: The Battle for Legacy’ is deepening. Its producer Amit Jani reacted to the notice received from Salman Khan’s legal team. He said that since receiving the notice, he has received thousands of threatening messages within 36 hours.
Amit Jani alleged that attempts were being made to intimidate and pressure him through social media, phone calls, Instagram, Facebook and personal messages. He said that if Salman Khan wants to fight a legal battle, he should do it within the ambit of law and not by issuing threats.
In his statement, Jani said, ‘I have received the notice sent by Salman Khan’s legal team and now my legal team is considering it. After receiving the notice, I am receiving continuous threats. I am being warned that I will be beaten, not allowed to stay in Mumbai and face serious consequences. In 36 hours I have received more than 10,000 threatening messages.
He compared Salman Khan’s fans and Lawrence Bishnoi’s supporters. Jani said, ‘When I released the poster of the film, I received many calls from Lawrence Bishnoi’s supporters, but the manner of conversation was civil. The messages I have received regarding the current controversy include abuses and threats. Some messages are also allegedly being sent in the name of D-Company. Due to all this, I tore the notice sent by Salman Khan’s legal team.
He further said, ‘Tearing the notice is a kind of response to this notice. I have full faith in the legal system of India. I am not going to back down under any kind of pressure or threat. My team will soon release the teaser of the film and none of the parts mentioned in the notice have been removed.
The controversy is about the film ‘Blackbuck’, which is reportedly based on the 1998 blackbuck poaching case and incidents related to it. After the release of the poster of the film, discussion started that the controversy related to Salman Khan and Bishnoi community will also be shown in it. After this, Salman Khan’s legal team became active and sent a notice to the people associated with the film. His team says that the film may affect his personal rights and image. Additionally, the black buck hunting case is still pending in the Rajasthan High Court, making making and promoting a film on the subject potentially legally sensitive. The notice also demanded a ban on the production and promotion of the film.
