SHOWDOWN at the box office! Deewaniyat team locks horns with Thamma over screen sharing; demands fair showcasing from multiplexes
The buzz around Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is building, thanks to the sensational soundtrack, and an impactful trailer for the mass audiences. After Saiyaara and Sanam Teri Kasam, this is expected to be another film catering to the youth and lovers of intense love stories. The film is clashing with Dinesh Vijan’s Thamma on the Diwali weekend, and the fight is getting intense. Reliable trade sources have confirmed that team Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has demanded equal showcasing to Thamma in national multiplex chains. “Deewaniyat team is confident that the hype for their film is on par with Thama despite a limited budget. They have requested the multiplex chains to be fair with the showcasing, rather than going for lopsided showcasing,” the source told Bollywood Hungama. The source told us further, “PVRInox is the distributor of Thamma, and one of the top management employees of PVRInox is now a part of Team Thama, heading distribution. Deewaniyat team has asked all the national chains to go by the demand among the audience, rather than the foul play of leveraging equations for better showcasing.”The advances for both films are opening on 17th October, and there is immense pressure on national chains to give preference to Thamma. “Dinesh Vijan and the senior former PVRInox executive have demanded 75 percent shows, leaving only 25 percent for Deewaniyat. It’s going to be a battle, and there is a high chance for bookings to start late due to the fight between the two parties.”The Diwali weekend could be a battle royale between team Thamma and Deewaniyat.

Akshay Kumar secures legal protection from unauthorized use of AI-generated content
The Bombay High Court has granted interim relief in favour of actor Akshay Kumar, shielding him from the unauthorised use of his likeness, image, and voice through AI-generated content and deepfakes. The order marks a significant step in the ongoing conversation about celebrity personality rights and the ethical use of artificial intelligence in the media. Justice Arif Doctor observed that such misuse of a public figure’s image “not only hurts his stature but has huge consequences,” emphasizing the growing urgency of tackling impersonation and misinformation driven by emerging technologies. The order follows a civil suit filed by the actor-legally known as Akshay Hari Om Bhatia-to prevent individuals and online platforms from exploiting his persona without consent. Representing Kumar, Senior Advocate Birendra Saraf argued that the issue transcends personal injury and has broader implications for public trust. “These acts cause grave harm to the plaintiff’s goodwill and reputation, dilute his personality and publicity rights, mislead the public, and amount to unfair competition and unjust enrichment,” Saraf said, urging the court to protect digital identity rights. The petition outlines multiple instances of deepfake misuse including a fabricated movie trailer showing Akshay as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and another clip falsely portraying him making remarks about Rishi Valmiki, which led to public backlash and forced clarifications from the actor. In one instance, a platform named Akshaykumar. ai allegedly allowed users to generate synthetic audio mimicking his voice and style. Saraf also highlighted concerns over counterfeit merchandise, cloned social media accounts, and fake endorsements circulating under Kumar’s name across platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook, as well as dark web listings. The plea sought a John Doe injunction against both known and unknown entities, asking intermediaries, e-commerce platforms, and domain registrars to identify perpetrators and remove infringing content. The court’s interim order aligns with a growing trend of Indian celebrities seeking protection from AI impersonations the Bombay High Court has previously extended similar relief to Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Suniel Shetty, Karan Johar, Rishab Shetty, and Asha Bhosle, who faced deepfake misuse of voice and image.
