New Delhi, Telugu actor Allu Arjun on Friday urged the Delhi High Court to stop the unauthorised use of his name, voice and likeness by several entities for commercial use and impersonation. Justice Tushar Rao Gedela heard the lawsuit by the "Pushpa" star and indicated that the court would pass an interim order in his favour. Seeking the protection of Arjun's personality rights, senior counsel Swathi Sukumar, representing the actor, submitted that his personality traits were being misappropriated for the sale of merchandise bearing his image and signature, operating voice-cloning platforms, AI chatbots and generation of obscene content.
