Legal Action Against AI-Generated Content
In his petition, Naga Chaitanya has requested the court to restrain individuals and platforms from using his name, image, and likeness without consent. The plea also targets AI-generated content, deepfake material, illegal merchandise, and misleading search engine results associated with his identity. The actor has argued that such content is being circulated widely and is harming his personal and professional image. The Delhi High Court has listed the matter for further hearing on September 30.
Persistent Social Media Speculation
