The Supreme Court has cancelled the Rajasthan High Court’s order that had stayed his conviction in the 1998 black buck case. This means that Salman Khan will not able to travel abroad. This, in turn, implies that the actor will also be denied British Visa which he had applied for.

The apex court asked the HC to decide Salman Khan's plea afresh in which the trial court had sentenced him to a five-year jail term.

The actor has been accused of hunting and killing two Chinkara deers and a black buck during the shooting of Hum Saath Saath Hain in Rajasthan in 1998.

Directors of Salman's upcoming films Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Kabir Khan and Sooraj Barjatya, are heaving a sigh of relief. Bajrangi Bhaijaan is currently being shot in Mandawa, post which Kabir has planned a month long schedule in Kashmir, followed by a brief shoot in Mumbai. Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo's next schedule is in Gondhal (Madhya Pradesh) followed by  a shoot in Udaipur and Mumbai.
