Anil Kapoor Wins Landmark Indian Court Case Protecting His Personality Rights Against AI Misuse

Anil Kapoor won a landmark court case in India protecting his personality rights against misuse by AI. The order prevents unauthorized use of his name, image, voice, etc.

Kapoor took action due to proliferation of deepfakes and memes misusing his likeness and his popular phrase "jhakaas".

Kapoor says the order protects his rights after he's gone and intends to prevent commercial misuse rather than limit free expression.

Kapoor expressed support for Hollywood actors striking over AI concerns, saying every actor has a right to protect themselves.

Kapoor's film "Thank You for Coming" premiered at Toronto Film Festival, where he celebrated Indian culture with dances and drums on the red carpet.
