Blackbuck: The Battle for Legacy producer Amit Jani on Tuesday reacted to the legal notice sent by actor Salman Khan’s team against the film. The project is believed to be inspired by the actor’s ongoing blackbuck poaching case, but Jani has denied the claim. He said the film is entirely based on information available in the public domain and focuses on the struggle of the Bishnoi community to protect wildlife.

Speaking exclusively to India Today, Jani said that the notice was given ahead of time and added that the film is “not a Salman Khan biopic.” Calling the legal action “unnecessary”, the producer said that apart from a poster, nothing has been revealed about the film so far.

He said that he was surprised by the legal notice as only a poster has been released so far while the teaser is scheduled to drop on June 20.

Jani argued that the case and incidents related to it are part of public record and can be depicted on screen. He said, “This is not a biopic of Salman Khan. The film is based on a bigger story related to the Bishnoi community, their struggle and their deep connection with wildlife. We have tried to bring that story on screen.”

“Salman was not shown in a negative light”

Addressing concerns that the film was directly targeting Salman Khan, Jani denied having any such intention. He said that neither Salman Khan nor gangster Lawrence Bishnoi is glorified or insulted in the film.

He said, “I have not shown Salman Khan in a negative light, nor have I glorified Lawrence Bishnoi. This film presents what is already available in the public domain and throws light on the beliefs and history of the Bishnoi community.”

The producer says that the film focuses on the perspective of people associated with the case rather than the accused. He claimed that films based on real-life events are often told through the experiences of victims, complainants, witnesses and affected communities.

Jani also said that he believed the legal notice was sent prematurely. “Only the poster has been released. The teaser is yet to come. It was unnecessary to send a legal notice at this stage without any discussion,” he said.

Jani further claimed that the film explores the sacrifices made by members of the Bishnoi community in protecting wildlife and nature. He noted the community’s historical commitment to environmental protection and said this aspect is an important part of the story.

When asked about the legal notice demanding removal of promotional material, Jani alleged that the move was aimed at discouraging people from being associated with the project. He suggested that pressure was being put on the producers because of Salman Khan’s stature in the film industry.

The producer said that his team will present its case in court if necessary. “If the court summons us, we will appear and present our case before it. We have done the same in previous cases and will follow the legal process,” he said.

The legal notice sent by Salman Khan’s team demands immediate stoppage of the film’s release and removal of all posters and promotional materials. A warning has also been given of further legal action if the demands are not met.
