Court Upholds Ban on Karan Johar Film

• The Bombay High Court upheld the stay on the release of 'Shaadi Ke Director Karan aur Johar,' citing infringement on Karan Johar's personality rights.
• Justice Riyaz Chagla noted that the film’s title appeared to infringe upon Johar’s identity and publicity rights, presenting a strong case for legal violation.
• The court refused to lift the interim order, maintaining the restriction on the film’s release until Johar’s lawsuit reaches its final resolution.
• The filmmakers proposed altering the title to 'Karan Aur Johar,' but the court remained unconvinced, stating that the essence of the issue still persisted.
• The court ruled that the filmmakers’ unauthorized use of Karan Johar’s name and persona in the movie title infringed upon his personality, publicity, and privacy rights.
