Delhi High Court Grants Hrithik Roshan Interim Protection, Orders Takedown of AI Content

Platforms face targeted removals plus disclosure of subscriber details ahead of a March 27, 2026 hearing.

Overview

  • Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora directed the removal of specified URLs and e‑commerce listings that exploit Hrithik Roshan’s name, image or voice, including AI‑generated material.
  • The court declined ex‑parte takedowns of non‑commercial fan pages, noting no present evidence of commercialisation or defamation and leaving those pages online pending notice.
  • Platforms were asked to share Basic Subscriber Information for relevant pages to help identify anonymous users, with a detailed interim order to follow.
  • The judge observed that videos used for dance tutorials based on a publicly available song did not warrant takedown at this stage.
  • Parallel actions continue across courts, including a similar Delhi case involving singer Kumar Sanu and a new Bombay High Court filing by Akshay Kumar, as judges craft interim remedies in the absence of a specific personality‑rights statute.
