Kangana Ranaut Seeks Delhi High Court Action Over AI Content

She said some of it was obscene or made with artificial intelligence.

For now, she is not asking the court to act against memes or satire.
The judge sent formal notices to the people named in her case and said an interim order would follow.
Actor Vijay Deverakonda has a separate case about how others use his identity.
His lawyer alleged unauthorised merchandise, AI posts, impersonation and false endorsements.
The court also sent notices in his case and said it would issue an interim order.
