Sonu Mmishra reveals he exits from Kala Hiran
Sonu Mmishra recently revealed that he left Kala Hiran after becoming uncomfortable with the direction of the project. Actor Sonu chose to leave the movie Kala Hiran because its contract went against his personal beliefs. He shared this during a chat with the YouTube channel Bollywood Crazies. According to the actor, he was initially excited about being part of the film and had even completed a few days of shooting.
However, he later felt that the narrative was presenting Salman Khan in a negative light. Sonu claimed that when he sought more clarity about the script and contractual terms, he discovered provisions that he believed were not in line with his personal values.
The upcoming film is reportedly based on Salman Khan’s famous 1998 blackbuck poaching case. Sonu revealed that he was first offered the main role, but he walked away after reading the contract. He said, “After two days of shoot, I asked them for the script. As the lead actor, I asked them to share the script and the clauses of the agreement. The makers also realised that they couldn’t control me. After a lot of delay, they showed me the contract, which stated that I had to speak against Salman to the media as well. These things are against my ethics.”
