The Delhi High Court has officially requested a response from the production team behind the film 'Doosra' regarding a lawsuit filed by former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly. In his plea, Ganguly claims that the filmmakers have infringed upon his personality rights by utilizing his image and identity in the project without obtaining the necessary permissions.

Personality rights, often referred to as publicity rights, protect an individual's right to control the commercial use of their name, image, and likeness. High-profile figures frequently invoke these rights to prevent unauthorized entities from profiting from their fame or associating them with products or media they have not endorsed. The court's decision to issue a notice is a standard procedural step, requiring the filmmakers to present their side of the argument before the bench can determine if an injunction or further legal action is warranted.

As of now, the producers of 'Doosra' have not publicly released a detailed defense regarding the specific allegations of unauthorized usage. The case highlights the ongoing legal tension between creative expression in biographical or sports-themed cinema and the personal rights of the individuals depicted. The court is expected to review the arguments from both parties in upcoming hearings to decide whether the film's content constitutes a violation of Ganguly's legal protections.
