Bombay High Court Orders Removal of Unauthorised AI Deepfakes Using Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Identity
The Bombay High Court has granted interim protection to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu against the unauthorised use of her name, image, and voice, including AI-generated deepfakes and morphed content.

The suit names multiple technology companies, digital media entities, and government bodies, with further hearings scheduled for December 10.
