Kangana Ranaut Seeks Delhi High Court Action Over AI Content
Kangana Ranaut asked a court in Delhi to remove some online content about her.
She said some of it was obscene or made with artificial intelligence.
Her lawyer also objected to fake news and AI posts that wrongly made it seem she had said things.
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.
Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut asked the Delhi High Court to remove certain AI-generated and obscene online content about her.
Justice Vikas Mahajan issued summons to defendants in Ranaut’s personality-rights lawsuit and indicated an interim order would follow.
Ranaut’s lawyer cited sexual and pornographic graphics, fake news and AI-generated material falsely attributing statements to her.
Her lawyer said Ranaut was not seeking interim relief against memes and other objectionable satire at this stage.
The court also issued summons in Vijay Deverakonda’s separate case, which alleges unauthorised commercial use and other misuse of his persona.
