Overview
- Justice Tushar Rao Gedela issued an ex parte ad‑interim order on April 29 after finding a prima facie misuse of Arjun Kapoor’s persona and a risk of irreparable harm.
- The injunction bars named defendants and unknown operators from using Kapoor’s name, image, voice, likeness, or other persona traits for gain or from creating or sharing unauthorized content.
- Platforms including Meta and Google were directed to remove listed links, pages, and videos, and to disclose Basic Subscriber Information for the accounts and channels tied to the material.
- Kapoor’s suit details impersonated event bookings, sales of merchandise with his image, face‑morph videos, synthetic voice models, and pornographic deepfakes created with AI tools.
- The case is listed next for October 10, while separate reporting shows AI persona chatbots of other celebrities remain live on services like CelebsGPT, highlighting enforcement gaps after such orders.
