Anil Kapoor personality rights
Anil Kapoor, the Ek Do Teen actor had to rely on the law and administration unit of the country because of the recent happenings on the internet. Due to the misuse of his voice, face, and other elements, a lawsuit was filed seeking protection of the actor’s personality rights which include his name, voice, and image rights’ safeguarding. Now, the Delhi High Court has restrained the misuse of Anil’s personality features.
On Wednesday, an interim order was passed to prevent Anil Kapoor’s personality attributes including his name, voice, image, and dialogue from getting misused. The order was passed against several websites and platforms after Anil alleged ‘unauthorized exploitation of his personality for commercial use’. Notably, the attributes also include Anil’s iconic ‘jhakaaaas’ dialogue.
The court’s order stated, “Defendants 1 to 16 are restrained from using … in any manner the plaintiff Anil Kapoor’s name, likeness, voice or any other attributes of his personality … for monetary gain or otherwise.” Justice Prathiba M Singh, who passed the order on Wednesday, said, “Using the plaintiff’s name, voice, dialogue, and image in an illegal manner, that too for commercial purposes, cannot be permitted. The court cannot turn a blind eye to such misuse of personality.”
Professionally, Anil Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan’s first on-screen collaboration will be witnessed in their upcoming movie Fighter.
