Overview
- Justice Tushar Rao Gedela issued an ex parte ad interim injunction restraining circulation of the AI-generated film ‘AI Love Story’ and related content that used Akira Nandan’s identity without consent.
- The order directs Meta, YouTube, X, and others to remove identified infringing URLs within court timelines, notify uploaders with a 72-hour window on Meta, and disclose Basic Subscriber Information and IP addresses.
- The court extended restraints to unnamed parties and barred any AI or deepfake use of Nandan’s name, image, voice, or persona without authorization.
- Judicial observations described such unauthorized use as a serious invasion of privacy, likening it to looting and warning of irreparable reputational harm.
- The court noted the Telugu upload had about 1,109,255 views and the English version 24,354 as of January 22; the uploader removed the trailer on YouTube, but copies, memes, and impersonation pages persist according to filings.
