Tamil actor Rajnikanth obtained an interim injunction till September 25 from theMadras High Court, restraining a Mumbai production house from using his name, image, caricature, and style of delivering dialogues in the coming film "Main hoon Rajinikanth'. In his petition, Rajinikanth said he has "never endorsed" any film or product using his name as it might "mislead his fans".Justice S Tamilvanan passed orders on an application by the actor, seeking to restrain Varsha Productions, Mumbai, from in any manner 'infiltrating' his personality rights through such unauthorised use.The court said it cannot be disputed that Intellectual Property Right is a recognized right under modern laws and thecopyright Act and Trade Marks Act are properly safeguarded by relevant statures. As per Article 21 of the Constitution,everyone is entitled to lead a dignified life and no one can cause damage to the fame or reputation to any person against law.
