Delhi High Court Allows Release of Film 'Doosra' Despite Sourav Ganguly's Legal Plea
The Delhi High Court refused to stay the release of the film 'Doosra' on October 23, despite a plea by former India cricket captain Sourav Ganguly alleging violation of his personality rights. Ganguly and Luv Films LLP, which holds exclusive rights to his authorized biopic, claimed the film used his identity and iconic cricket moments without permission. The court cited the balance of convenience favoring the filmmakers and scheduled further hearings. The makers assert 'Doosra' is not a biopic and holds necessary licenses for cricket footage.
