Actress Urvashi Rautela’s representatives accuse a Los Angeles-based artificial intelligence company of using her name, and her images and videos, without authorization. Her team says it is pursuing legal remedies and has assessed potential damages at ₹7,000 crore, according to reports.
Both outlets describe Rautela’s public response as a warning to the company, telling it to keep her name out of its business unless permission is obtained. Times of India adds that the company’s head of “Bollywood AI,” Sheeraz Hasan, dismisses the allegations as nonsensical and suggests Rautela learn more about AI. Free Press Journal notes that the statement does not name the company.
Overall, the dispute centres on claimed unauthorized use of Rautela’s persona and how that material was used in the AI company’s business, with Rautela’s side seeking substantial damages and the company’s representative rejecting the claims.
