Delhi HC refuses to halt Friday release of film…
Former India cricket captain Sourav Ganguly has filed a legal plea to prevent the release of the upcoming film Doosra on October 23. The Delhi High Court, however, declined to stay the film's release, with a decision expected on a subsequent date. Ganguly and Luv Films LLP, the film's producers, challenged the release of the movie, which features extensive footage from the 2002 NatWest Series, a victory that inspired Ganguly among others.
The film's director, Abhinay Deo, argues that the necessary license was obtained from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) or the authorized rights holder to use the footage. Ganguly's team contends that he does not own the rights to this footage and that the use of his identity, reputation, and professional achievements in the film was done without his permission.
