The Court restrained the unauthorised use and commercial exploitation of Ravi Kishan&#8217;s name, image, likeness, voice, and other personality attributes. Recognising the increasing misuse of celebrity identities through artificial intelligence and digital platforms, the Court also directed the removal of objectionable online content, including AI-generated and deepfake material, holding that such acts were prima facie unlawful and likely to cause irreparable harm to Ravi Kishan&#8217;s reputation, dignity, and privacy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Also Read:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2026\/06\/18\/bom-hc-preity-zinta-personality-rights-case-ai-deep-fakes\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bombay HC Permits Preity Zinta to Seek Injunction to Protect Her Personality Rights from AI and Digital Misuse<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Background<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The plaintiff, Ravindra Shukla, popularly known as &#8220;Ravi Kishan&#8221;, is a celebrated actor, producer, and Member of Parliament with a career spanning more than three decades across Hindi, Bhojpuri, Telugu, Kannada, and Tamil cinema.

The Court noted that his name, image, likeness, voice, and other identifiable personality attributes possess significant commercial value and are entitled to legal protection. It reiterated that Indian courts have consistently recognised personality rights and protected celebrities against unauthorised commercial exploitation, relying on earlier Delhi High Court decisions which held that misuse of a celebrity&#8217;s persona not only causes commercial injury but also infringes their dignity and privacy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Also Read:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2026\/02\/26\/delhi-hc-protects-jubin-nautiyals-personality-rights\/\" target=\"_blank\">Delhi High Court protects Jubin Nautiyal&#8217;s personality rights; Directs take down of AI generated deep fakes<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court found that the unauthorised publication of obscene, pornographic, defamatory, and AI-generated content using Ravi Kishan&#8217;s identity was prima facie unlawful and likely to cause irreparable harm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Holding that Ravi Kishan had established a strong prima facie case, that the balance of convenience lay in his favour, and that denial of interim relief would result in irreparable injury, the Court granted an ex parte ad interim injunction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Also Read:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2026\/03\/27\/delhi-hc-protects-sonakshi-sinhas-personality-rights\/\" target=\"_blank\">Delhi High Court protects Sonakshi Sinha&#8217;s Personality Rights; directs take down of AI-generated deepfakes<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Accordingly, the Court restrained Defendants 1&#8212;20, Defendant 29, and all persons acting on their behalf from using, exploiting, or misappropriating Ravi Kishan&#8217;s personality rights, including his names &#8220;Ravindra Shukla&#8221; and &#8220;&#8221;Ravi Kishan&#8221;, image, likeness, voice, or any other distinctive attributes through any medium, including artificial intelligence (AI), generative AI, machine learning, deepfakes, social media, and virtual platforms.
