Kumar Sanu moves court against unauthorized AI-generated content
Legendary Bollywood singer Kumar Sanu has gone to the Delhi High Court, asking for legal protection over his name, voice, singing style, and images.
He's especially worried about AI-generated versions of his voice and videos popping up on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook without his permission.
Petition states unauthorized use of singer's identity
Sanu's petition says people are using his identity online to make money without asking him first—which is likely to create confusion or deception and dilution among the public.
He's relying on the Copyright Act to back up his claim that only he should control how his performances are used.
The court will hear his case on October 13, 2025.
