Jackie Shroff allows only Krushna Abhishek to mimic him
What's the story
Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff has given comedian Krushna Abhishek exclusive permission to impersonate him. This move follows Shroff's lawsuit filed in the Delhi High Court in May 2024 against unauthorized commercial use of his name, images, voice, and the moniker 'Bhidu.' Shroff's legal team argued that such misuse could mislead consumers into believing products are endorsed by the actor.

In an exclusive interview with ETimes TV, Abhishek reportedly disclosed that he is the sole person authorized to mimic Shroff. He revealed that Shroff had praised his impersonation, stating that no one else could imitate him as convincingly.
