The Delhi High Court refuses to stay the release of the film “Doosra” following a plea by former cricketer Sourav Ganguly, who says the film uses his identity and cricket-related material without authorisation. Court action means the movie proceeds as scheduled, despite his challenge grounded in personality and commercial rights.
All three reports frame the dispute as part of a broader trend in India’s “personality rights” litigation, where public figures claim they should control commercial use of their image and achievements. Times of India emphasises the timing of the film’s premiere and links the allegations to specific references such as Ganguly’s leadership and a notable NatWest Series celebration. MediaNama highlights the claim that the film also draws on archival footage and achievements.
India Today provides a shorter account that largely matches the headline outcome, focusing on the court’s denial without adding additional detail compared with the other outlets. Overall, the outlets agree on the central decision and the nature of the rights claim, while differing in how much context and which alleged elements of the film they mention.
