Overview
- Chiranjeevi Dhaba owner Ravi Tej confirmed receiving a legal notice and said on Instagram that, after meeting the actor’s team, he was allowed to keep using the name.
- The owner’s video framed the restaurant’s branding as fan admiration and sought to dispel social-media rumors about arrests linked to using the actor’s image.
- Reports say the notices reached roughly 50–60 establishments following the court’s order targeting unauthorized commercial exploitation.
- The injunction bars use of Chiranjeevi’s name, image, voice, likeness, and titles such as Mega Star, Chiru, and Annayya, with violations risking civil and criminal penalties.
- Separate from the business notices, Chiranjeevi lodged a police complaint over obscene AI-generated videos, citing broader identity misuse concerns.
