Actor Salman Khan moved a Mumbai civil court against a video game called Selmon Bhoi, which is allegedly based on the actor’s hit-and-run case from 2002. The court has ordered for temporary restraint on access
to the game. As per a PTI report, the court restrained the makers of the game, Parody Studios Pvt Ltd and its directors, from
disseminating, launching,
re-launching, and recreating the game or any other content relating to the actor. “Upon watching the game and its images, it prima facie matches with the identity
of the plaintiff (Khan) and to the hit-and-run case connected to the plaintiff,” the court said. It further said Salman had never given his consent for the game.
It added that Salman’s image was being ‘tarnished’ by the game. “When the plaintiff has not given his consent for the development of the game, which is very similar to his identity
and the case against him, certainly his right to privacy is being deprived and his image is also being tarnished,” the order said.
