The Delhi High Court has granted interim protection to Arjun Kapoor, safeguarding his personality rights against unauthorised use of his identity across digital platforms. The order comes amid growing concerns over misuse of celebrity likenesses, particularly through artificial intelligence and online content.

The court passed an ex parte ad-interim injunction restraining multiple entities, including websites and social media accounts, from exploiting Kapoor’s name, image, voice or likeness without his consent. This includes the sale of merchandise, unauthorised event bookings and other commercial activities falsely associated with the actor.

In its ruling, the court directed major intermediaries such as Google and Meta to take down infringing links and disclose basic subscriber information of accounts involved in spreading such content. It emphasised that any use of Kapoor’s personality without permission would amount to a clear violation of his publicity rights.

The court also rejected arguments that some of the content could be classified as parody or satire, stating that the volume of material presented showed a clear pattern of infringement. It added that explicit deepfake videos were “vulgar” in nature and had the potential to damage the actor’s image beyond repair.

This development reflects a broader trend of Indian courts stepping in to protect personality rights in the digital age, especially as the rise of AI tools and online platforms increases the risk of identity misuse. Kapoor’s case adds to a growing list of public figures seeking legal recourse against such violations.

‘3 idiots’ is one of Bollywood’s most iconic films of all time. And, according to the latest reports, it is rumoured that Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal, who was last seen in the 2025 film Chhaava, based on the life of Sambhaji, the second ruler of the Maratha Empire, will now be joining the sequel of 3 idiots. The report suggests that the makers are now planning to bring in a fourth idiot into the story. And the actor being considered for the role is, Vicky Kaushal.

As per Pinkvilla, Vicky Kaushal will star as the fourth “idiot,” as the film’s story will take a 10-year leap. “Kaushal is keen on sharing screen space with Aamir Khan and contributing to a franchise that enjoys immense recall value,” a source shared, adding, “Multiple meetings between Vicky, Aamir, and Hirani have already taken place, and Vicky has verbally agreed to play the part of the fourth ‘idiot,’ though the timelines have to align for the entire ensemble.”

However, the report also stated that Vicky Kaushal will begin shooting for the 3 Idiots sequel only after wrapping up his commitments for Mahavatar, which will require him to shoot extensively.

Meanwhile, speaking to Amar Ujala, the Bollywood actor Aamir Khan opened up about the details of the sequel. The actor revealed that he has heard the story and that it’s “wonderful.” The actor said, “Raju is working on 3 Idiots 2 right now. I’ve heard the story, and it’s wonderful.” Aamir further added, “The script still needs some work, but the story itself is really good, unusual, with the same humour as the first film. It follows the characters from 3 Idiots, picking up 10 years later.”

Additionally, Aamir Khan also expressed his excitement about playing Phunsukh Wangdu again. He said, “It’s a beautiful story conceived by Raju and Abhijat. I’m looking forward to it, and to playing Phunsukh Wangdu again.”
