Salman_KhanNew Delhi, Apr 1: Actor Salman Khan appeared in a Mumbai court today in connection with the hit-and-run case, the retrial of which has been adjourned to April 28. The actor filed an application stating he wouldn't be available on April 8 which is the date the retrial had been adjourned to.

The retrial of the case was scheduled to begin on March 26. Three witnesses who were to be examined in court that day failed to appear after which the trial was then adjourned to April 8. Mr Khan was exempted from appearing in court.

In September 2002, Mr Khan was allegedly driving a Toyota Land Cruiser that ran over a group of people sleeping on the pavement outside a bakery in suburban Bandra. One person was killed and four others were injured in the accident.

The case has gone from court to court with arguments centred around whether Mr Khan was driving the car that day or not. The Mumbai police say they have enough evidence against him.

In 1998, Salman Khan spent three days in prison for killing black buck, an endangered species of deer, in Rajasthan. The actor's appeals in separate poaching cases are currently pending in the Rajasthan courts.

The 48-year-old actor is considered one of Bollywood's biggest draws and has starred in some of its highest-earning films in the last five years. He last appeared in January's Jai Ho, co-starring debutante Daisy Shah. He also made a cameo appearance in O Teri, produced by his brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri, which released on March 28.

Los Angeles, May 24: Filmmaker Frank Marshall, one of the producers behind Jurassic World: Dominion, says the forthcoming film is not a conclusion of the franchise.

Colin Trevorrow, who rebooted Steven Spielberg's blockbuster Jurassic Park franchise with 2015's Jurassic World, is back on the director's chair after sitting out on second movie Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018).

Asked about the upcoming movie, Marshall told Collider: "It's the start of a new era."

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are coming back for the third film, which will also feature original stars of 1993's Jurassic Park -- Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill.

The producer also revealed how he sees the film franchise extending into the future.

"The dinosaurs are now on the mainland amongst us, and they will be for quite some time, I hope," Marshall said.

The film was three weeks into production when it was shut down over coronavirus concerns, but the producer said the team has the sets built in London and will be "back in business" once they have guidelines from the British government.

Dominion is still slated to be released on its scheduled date of June 11, 2021.
