The Delhi High Court has ruled that the film Doosra infringed upon former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly’s personality and publicity rights. In its directions, the Court has ordered the film's makers, Ramesh Deo Productions Private Limited, to deposit Rs. 2 crore and display disclaimers in both Hindi and English at the beginning and end of the film.

The ruling comes in connection with a lawsuit filed by Sourav Ganguly along with Luv Films over the unauthorised use of his identity and life events in the film. The Court has also restrained the makers from releasing Doosra on OTT platforms or through any other medium.

According to the Court's observations, elements of Ganguly's personality and incidents from his life are closely connected to the film's narrative. This makes it difficult to remove the portions in question from the final cut. The Court, therefore, directed the makers to include prominent disclaimers to clarify the nature of the film's association with the former cricketer.

The disclaimers must explicitly state that Ganguly did not give consent for the commercial use or depiction of his persona in the film. They must also clarify that the project does not have any official association or authorisation from him. Sourav Ganguly's personality rights case and the upcoming biopic The ruling brings attention to the legal issues surrounding the use of public figures' identities and personal histories in films and other commercial projects. Personality rights generally protect individuals against the unauthorised commercial exploitation of aspects such as their name, image and likeness.

Meanwhile, Sourav Ganguly's authorised biographical film, Dada: The Sourav Ganguly Story, is also in the works. Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and produced by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, the project is scheduled for release on May 14, 2026.

Dhurandhar is all over the internet and it has become a big talking point thanks to its real-life references, performances, certain moments and of course the music. A day after its release on December 5, the song ‘FA9LA’, featuring Akshaye Khanna’s character Rehman Dacait, making a dramatic entry at a celebration in Balochistan, has gone viral. The song is very catchy and there’s no way an active social media user hasn’t seen its videos and Reels. In an interview with Mid-Day, choreographer Vijay Ganguly shared some interesting trivia about working on the track. Vijay Ganguly began by saying that the dance was done spontaneously by Akshaye Khanna. He said, “Originally, he was supposed to enter, walk through the dancers, and sit on the throne. Seeing the scene’s mood and the dancers’ performance, the fantastic actor that Akshaye is, he said he would dance a bit when he walks in. None of us knew what he was going to do. Akshaye entered the scene, took it from that point, and spontaneous...
