Bombay High Court Blocks Release of 'Shaadi ke Director Karan aur Johar'

The Bombay High Court has issued an interim order stopping the release of the movie 'Shaadi ke Director Karan aur Johar'. The court found that the film used Karan Johar's name and personal attributes without authorization, which violated his fundamental and personality rights.

The Bombay High Court has delivered an interim injunction against the release of the film 'Shaadi ke Director Karan aur Johar', citing unauthorized use of filmmaker Karan Johar's name and personal attributes. Justice R I Chagla stated that the film violated Johar's fundamental rights by using his name without consent.

The single bench declared that until the name and personal references to Karan Johar are excised from the film's title and content, the film cannot be released in theatres or on social media platforms. The film was originally slated for release on June 14.

The court observed that prima facie, the film targets Karan Johar, exploiting his celebrity status and goodwill for unjust gain, a point that was also argued by Johar's legal counsel. The court noted the film's direct reference to Johar and the unlawful use of his name, emphasizing the need to protect Johar's personality and fundamental rights.
