In a significant stride towards safeguarding personal rights in Bollywood, Anil Kapoor recently emerged victorious in a legal battle to protect his distinctive features, including his name, voice, image, and catchphrase. The veteran actor, acknowledging Amitabh Bachchan as a trailblazer in this realm, shared insights into his journey and commitment to championing the cause.
In a candid interview with a leading news portal, Anil Kapoor expressed the importance of shielding not only his professional identity but also his personal life. “You have to protect the bodywork, the kind of person you have, your family, and yourself,” he emphasized, attributing the initiative to none other than Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan.
Asserting that there’s still a long road ahead, Kapoor pledged to give his best in advancing the rights of actors as individuals and Indian citizens. The actor had recently won a legal battle that secured a Delhi High Court directive preventing the unauthorized use of his name, voice, image, likeness, manner of speaking, gestures, and even his iconic “jhakaas” catchphrase for commercial purposes.
The legal action was prompted by instances of the actor’s personal traits being misused, leading Kapoor to take a stand against the unauthorized exploitation of his distinctive features. This victory not only serves as a personal triumph for Kapoor but also sets a precedent for other Bollywood celebrities seeking to protect their unique identities.
On the professional front, Anil Kapoor is gearing up for the release of Siddharth Anand’s “Fighter,” co-starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone. The aerial action film is set to hit the screens on January 25, 2024, promising an exciting cinematic experience for fans.
