MUMBAI: A civil court in Mumbai on Monday granted interim relief to actor Salman Khan against a parody online game, “Selmon Bhoi”. The court has ordered temporary restraint on access to the game which is allegedly based on the 2002 accident involving the actor.
Khan’s lawyers Pradeep Gandhy, Parag Khandhar and Prachi Garg had moved a plea against the company Parody Studios Pvt Ltd and its director saying “the game developers intentionally gained commercial advantage by exploiting the personality rights of our client without seeking our client’s consent.”
It was found that the name of the game and images, prima facie, matched with Khan’s identity. The court also noted that it was also prima facie found to allude to the hit-and-run case involving the actor.
