Bombay HC seeks details on Shilpa Shetty’s family background before allowing travel abroad amid Rs 60 crores EOW probe
The Bombay High Court... Read More
The Bombay High Court has directed the prosecution to verify the family background of actress Shilpa Shetty after she submitted an affidavit seeking permission to travel abroad for a professional engagement. The directive came during the ongoing hearing of Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra’s plea challenging the Look Out Circular (LOC) issued against them by the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in a Rs 60-crore cheating case.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad heard the matter on Tuesday. The court had earlier instructed the couple to deposit Rs 60 crores—the amount allegedly misused—if they wished to travel internationally. It had firmly reiterated that no leisure travel would be allowed while the probe remained active.
The case stems from a complaint filed by businessman Deepak Kothari, who accused Raj Kundra and Shetty of enticing him to invest Rs 60 crores in their venture, Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd, between 2015 and 2023, and then diverting the funds for personal gains. The EOW subsequently requested a Look Out Circular to restrict their travel abroad while the investigation continues.
Shetty’s counsel, Advocate Niranjan Mundargi, informed the court that the actor had been invited by American YouTube personality MrBeast to participate in an event in Los Angeles from October 22 to 27, and that only she and her son would travel, while her husband, daughter, and mother would remain in Mumbai. Mundargi emphasized that Shetty’s participation required court approval, as failure to attend could cause contractual liabilities.
He reiterated that there were no direct allegations against Shetty. The complaint, he argued, centered on Raj Kundra, and Shetty’s role as a former director of Best Deal TV was nominal and ended in 2016.
In a notable development, the Chief Justice orally remarked, “Why don’t you become an approver against accused no. 1 (Kundra) then?”, hinting that Shetty could assist the prosecution to clear her name if she genuinely had no role in the alleged fraud.
The bench has adjourned the matter to Thursday, October 16, directing the prosecution to report after verifying details of Shetty’s affidavit and family background. The court also instructed Shetty and Kundra to file a written affidavit by the same date, affirming their stand and financial position in the case.

Mahabharat fame Pankaj Dheer passes away after battle with cancer
Veteran actor Pankaj... Read More
Veteran actor Pankaj Dheer, renowned for his iconic portrayal of Karna in BR Chopra’s epic television series Mahabharat, passed away on October 15, 2025, after a prolonged battle with cancer. He was 68 years old. His team released a heartfelt statement announcing his demise:
"With profound grief and deep sorrow, we inform you of the passing of our Trust’s erstwhile Chairman and CINTAA's former Hon. General Secretary, Shri Pankaj Dheer ji, on 15th October 2025. The cremation will be held today at 4:30 pm, next to Pawan Hans, Vile Parle (W), Mumbai."
Pankaj Dheer’s portrayal of Karna, one of the most complex and tragic characters of the Mahabharata, remains etched in the hearts of millions. In a previous interview with Lehren, Dheer reflected on the significance of the role and the immense love it garnered over the decades.
He shared: "The Mahabharata is a beautifully written granth addressing all kinds of human relationships and moral lessons. When we made the show, we didn't have many references for Karna’s character. I had to use my own intellect and creativity to shape how Karna would walk, talk, and carry himself. I chose to play Karna with great restraint to generate sympathy, balancing the dramatic performances around me."
Dheer also expressed his gratitude for the enduring connection fans had with his Karna, recalling that his image as Karna even appeared in school history books and that he is worshipped in temples dedicated to Karna in places like Karnal and Bastar. He said, "People have loved me from the bottom of their hearts. This acceptance makes it hard for others to play the role. I have been offered Karna's role in other adaptations, but I refused. To me, playing Karna was a once-in-a-lifetime fate."
Fans and colleagues alike mourn the loss of a titan whose work transcended time.
Bollywood Hungama extends its heartfelt condolences to Pankaj Dheer’s family, friends, and well-wishers during this difficult time.

Akshay Kumar moves Bombay High Court to protect his personality rights amid AI deepfake threat
Bollywood superstar... Read More
Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has approached the Bombay High Court seeking protection of his personality rights, becoming the latest A-list actor to take legal recourse amid growing concerns over the unauthorised use of celebrity identities through artificial intelligence and deepfake technology. The matter will be heard by the court on Wednesday.
According to reports, the actor has filed a suit to safeguard his name, image, voice, likeness and overall persona from misuse by unknown individuals and digital entities. The move comes shortly after fellow actor Hrithik Roshan filed a similar plea before the Delhi High Court to protect his personal and digital identity from unauthorised commercial use.
The issue of AI-generated deepfakes and digitally manipulated content has become a serious concern in the entertainment industry, with several high-profile figures recently turning to the courts for relief. Earlier this month, Justice Arif Doctor of the Bombay High Court granted interim protection of personality rights to legendary playback singer Asha Bhosle and actor Suniel Shetty, acknowledging the increasing misuse of celebrity images and videos online.
With Akshay Kumar now joining this growing list, the issue has clearly taken centre stage in Bollywood’s ongoing battle against digital impersonation and content manipulation. Known for his strong public image and disciplined persona, Akshay has built one of the most respected brands in Indian cinema — spanning acting, production, and philanthropy. His decision to seek judicial protection underscores the mounting challenges faced by celebrities in maintaining control over their identity in an era where AI can easily replicate voices and faces for profit or parody.
On the work front, Akshay Kumar continues to remain one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars, with multiple projects lined up for release. His recent films have spanned genres — from action and comedy to social drama — reaffirming his place as one of the industry’s most versatile performers.
As India awaits a comprehensive legal framework to regulate the commercial use of AI-generated likenesses, such court interventions are expected to set important precedents for safeguarding celebrity rights in the digital age.

Hrithik Roshan moves Delhi High Court to protect his personality rights amid rising AI misuse
Hrithik Roshan has... Read More
Hrithik Roshan has moved the Delhi High Court by filing a petition seeking safeguards for his name, image, likeness and other aspects of his persona against unauthorised commercial use and misuse. This comes days after veteran playback singer Kumar Sanu sought legal protection for his personality rights, and the matter is expected to be heard on Wednesday, according to a report by Bar and Bench.
With the increasing use of generative AI and deepfake technologies, several Indian celebrities have been turning to the courts to protect their digital and personal identities. Hrithik joins a growing list of public figures — including Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, Kumar Sanu, and even the late Ratan Tata — who have sought injunctions to prevent unauthorised exploitation of their name or likeness, often through AI-generated content.
Personality rights, also known as publicity rights, give individuals legal control over how their name, image, voice, and other identifiable traits are used commercially. While India does not yet have a dedicated law governing these rights, courts have upheld them under the right to privacy guaranteed by Article 21 of the Constitution and through existing principles of common law.
Hrithik Roshan, who was last seen in War 2 which released on August 14, has been in the spotlight not only for his films but also for his new venture as a producer. The actor recently kicked off his debut production Storm in collaboration with Amazon Prime Video under his banner HRX Films. Known for his carefully curated projects and strong public image, Hrithik’s move to secure his personality rights reflects a growing concern among stars about their identity being misused in the age of AI-generated videos, fake endorsements and manipulated content.
As courts continue to issue directions to online platforms for removing infringing material, legal experts believe more celebrities will take similar steps until India establishes a dedicated framework to regulate the commercial use of personal likenesses in the digital era.

Karisma Kapoor's kids Kiaan and Samara take legal action against stepmother Priya Sachdev over father Sunjay Kapur's estate
The ongoing legal... Read More
The ongoing legal dispute over the estate of late businessman Sunjay Kapur reached the Delhi High Court on Monday as Kiaan Raj Kapoor and Samara Kapoor, the children of Sunjay and actor Karisma Kapoor, raised concerns about the authenticity of their father’s will. Their legal counsel made strong claims against Priya Sachdev, Sunjay’s widow and their stepmother, alleging irregularities in the document.
Kiaan and Samara Question Validity of Sunjay Kapur’s Will
Represented by senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, Kiaan and Samara filed a case accusing Priya Sachdev of allegedly forging Sunjay Kapur’s will. According to the legal team, the will contains multiple inaccuracies, including the incorrect spelling of Kiaan’s name and an error in Samara’s address. “These are not minor mistakes. Sunjay Kapur had a close relationship with his children. It's unlikely he would have gotten their names or addresses wrong. The nature of the errors raises serious questions about whether the will was actually written or approved by him,” Jethmalani argued in court.
Legal Team Suggests Only One Beneficiary
Although Karisma Kapoor is not a plaintiff in the case, she is reportedly supporting her children through the proceedings. The legal team further claimed that the will appears to benefit only one person—Priya Sachdev—and that no other individuals were listed as recipients of Sunjay’s assets. “There is no indication that anyone other than the beneficiary prepared the will. If the document is proven to be forged, then only one person would have had a motive to create it in this manner,” said Jethmalani. The court is scheduled to continue the hearing on Tuesday.
Previous Allegations Against Priya Sachdev
This isn’t the first time serious allegations have been made during the dispute. On October 9, Kiaan and Samara reportedly referred to their stepmother in court as being like "Cinderella’s evil stepmother," suggesting they felt unfairly treated in the matter of inheritance.
Earlier, on September 26, the court had granted Priya Sachdev the opportunity to submit a list of Sunjay Kapur’s assets in a sealed cover. The court also advised all parties to refrain from sharing sensitive information about the estate with the media, to preserve the privacy and integrity of the legal proceedings.
About Sunjay Kapur and His Family
Sunjay Kapur, the former chairman of Sona Comstar, a global automotive components company, passed away in June 2025 in London, reportedly due to a heart attack. He was previously married to Karisma Kapoor from 2003 to 2016, and the couple share two children—Samara and Kiaan. In 2017, Sunjay married Priya Sachdev, with whom he remained until his passing.
The estate case remains ongoing, with significant interest due to the high-profile nature of the family involved.

The first poster presents a lone figure clad in a rugged military uniform, standing amidst a smoky, ash-filled backdrop. The figure’s tense posture and concealed face add a layer of mystery and seriousness to the image. The tagline, "Woh Ikkis Ka Tha, Ikkis Ka Hi Rahega," emphasizes a sense of dedication and unwavering commitment. The title Ikkis is boldly displayed in a distressed, rugged font, reflecting the gritty nature of the film. The poster credits Sriram Raghavan as director and Dinesh Vijan as producer.

The second poster plunges deeper into the battlefield, showing a soldier manning a machine gun aboard a tank with explosions and armored vehicles in the background. The gritty realism of this war setting is heightened by the embers and smoke rising from the combat zone, imprinting a tense, action-packed mood. This imagery solidifies the film's focus on heroic military action and sacrifice.

A post shared by Maddock Films (@maddockfilms)
Ikkis is based on the true story of Arun Khetarpal, India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra awardee, whose extraordinary bravery during the 1971 Indo-Pak war stands as an inspiring chapter in Indian military history. The film’s release, originally planned for October 2, 2025—clashing with the blockbuster Kantara Chapter 1—was postponed. Now, Maddock Films has confirmed that Ikkis will premiere in December 2025, although the exact date remains a mystery.
Notably, Ikkis marks the big-screen debut of Agastya Bachchan, grandson of the legendary Amitabh Bachchan. Agastya initially debuted in the Netflix original The Archies, a Zoya Akhtar directorial, which faced criticism for the performances of several debutants, particularly leading star kids. This film offers Agastya a fresh opportunity to establish himself in the cinematic world under the direction of acclaimed filmmaker Sriram Raghavan.
