The filmmakers’ request to release the film under a different title was also rejected.
Bombay: The Bombay High Court has refused to lift the stay on the release of the film Shaadi Ke Director Karan aur Johar, stating that the title prima facie violates filmmaker Karan Johar’s personality rights. The decision was made on Friday by Justice RI Chagla, who ruled that there is a strong case supporting Johar’s claim.
Today, On 13th June, The Bombay High Court ordered a stay on the release of the film ‘Shaadi Ke Director Karan Aur Johar’ following Karan Johar’s plea. The unauthorized use of Johar’s name in the title and promotional materials violates his personality rights. The filmmakers are temporarily prohibited from releasing the film until the unauthorized use of Johar’s name is removed.
