Delhi High Court Orders Disclaimer, Bank Guarantee in Sourav Ganguly 'Doosra' Case
The Delhi High Court ruled that the film 'Doosra' prima facie infringes former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly's personality rights by commercially exploiting his identity and career moments. However, the court allowed the film's theatrical screening to continue, directing the makers to add a disclaimer clarifying Ganguly's non-consent and to furnish a Rs 2 crore bank guarantee. The case arose from a lawsuit filed by Ganguly and Luv Films LLP, which holds rights to an authorized biopic on the cricketer.
