Delhi High Court Orders Disclaimer and Bank Guarantee in Sourav Ganguly's Doosra Case
The Delhi High Court ruled that the film Doosra prima facie infringes former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly's personality and publicity rights. The court directed the filmmakers to add disclaimers in Hindi and English stating Ganguly did not consent to the use of his persona and to furnish an unconditional Rs 2 crore bank guarantee. Despite these findings, the court allowed the film's theatrical screening to continue, noting the close connection between Ganguly's identity and the film's narrative. The case was filed by Ganguly and Luv Films LLP, which holds rights to an authorised biopic on him.
