Delhi High Court Reviews Sourav Ganguly's Personality Rights Case Against Film Doosra
Former cricketer Sourav Ganguly and Luv Films filed a lawsuit alleging the film Doosra violates Ganguly's personality rights by using his 2002 NatWest Series moments without consent. The Delhi High Court refused to stay the film's release on October 23 but summoned the filmmakers to respond and arrange a screening. The defendants maintain Doosra is a fictional story inspired by sporting events, not a biopic, and assert they obtained necessary permissions. The court will hear the case on October 29.
