Delhi High Court bars commercial use of Bachchan's image

Entertainment Nov 06, 2026

Big news for Amitabh Bachchan fans: the Delhi High Court just ruled that no one can use his name, photo, or likeness for business without his say-so.

This comes after Bachchan took legal action to protect how his image is used: such as apps and fake lotteries using his persona without permission.

Some defendants accept Bachchan's image control

The court's decision covers both those who settled with Bachchan and those who didn't even show up in court.

Some have now admitted he has the final word on how his image is used and promised not to misuse it again.

If anyone tries something similar in the future, Bachchan can take more legal steps to stop them.
