Delhi High Court Directs Amitabh Bachchan to Appear if Personality Rights Settlement Fails
The Delhi High Court has directed veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan to appear in person at the next hearing of his 2022 personality rights lawsuit if a settlement with some defendants is not completed by November 16, 2026. The suit seeks protection against unauthorized use of his name, image, and voice. While some defendants have reached an amicable settlement, formal signing has been delayed due to logistical issues. The court emphasized Bachchan's personal presence is required to continue the case if unresolved claims remain.
