Renowned Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff has taken a significant step to protect his individuality by filing a petition in the esteemed Delhi High Court. The petition seeks to prohibit various entities from exploiting his name, voice, or any other distinctive attributes without his explicit consent. The legal action also targets the unauthorized usage of his cherished nickname, ‘Bhidu.’
Scheduled for a hearing on May 15, the case signifies Jackie Shroff’s proactive stance in safeguarding his persona from undue exploitation. This move follows a similar legal endeavor by fellow actor Anil Kapoor, underlining the growing concern among celebrities regarding the unauthorized use of their identities.
The forthcoming court proceedings hold the promise of potentially issuing an interim order, further reinforcing the importance of protecting the individuality and rights of public figures like Jackie Shroff.
