However, the Delhi High Court on Thursday refused to stay the release of the film. Former Indian cricketer and captain Sourav Ganguly on moved to court to stay the release of the upcoming film Doosra on October 23. He had filed the case over a violation of his personality rights.
The film tells the fictional story of Tara, a woman who challenges societal norms. The film is not based on and does not infringe any rights of Mr. Ganguly. All match footage used in the film has been duly licensed with appropriate permissions.
Speaking to us, Madhu Gadodia, deputy managing partner of Naik Naik and company, the legal firm representing producer Masjda Sajeh and director Abhinay Deo told us, “The film, Doosra is in theatres and is not a biopic on Sourav Ganguly.
We will continue to defend the proceedings before the Court.” The Delhi High Court, upon hearing the matter yesterday, was not inclined to stay the film’s release.
