Bollywood actor Salman Khan was convicted in the 1998 Blackbuck poaching case on Thursday by a Jodhpur court and sentenced to five years jail-term, along with a fine of Rs 10,000.
While the Sultan actor was convicted, his co-accused, Tabu, Sonali Bendre, Saif Ali Khan, Neelam Kothari, and one more person were buried in the case.
The 1998 Blackbuck poaching case took place when Khan, along with the above-mentioned actors, was shooting for his film ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’. Khan killed two blackbucks at that time.
With ‘Tiger’ behind the bars, Bollywood's over Rs 1,000 crore is at risk as Salman's upcoming movies might get affected due to the verdict. Here are some of Khan’s movies that might face the wrath of the Blackbuck poaching case verdict.
1. Race 3
Race 3, directed by Remo D’Souza, is the third instalment in the Race movie series and has Khan playing the lead role. Though the ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ actor has wrapped up the schedule of the movie in Abu Dhabi and Bangkok, the remaining portions of the film are yet to be shot. The multi-starrer movie also features Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Daisy Shah, Saqib Saleem, and others in key roles. The movie is produced by SKF Films and Ramesh Taurani under the banner of Tips Films and is slated to release on June 15.
