Akira Nandan Moves Court Seeking Protection of Personality Rights
Akira Nandan urged the court to direct the immediate removal of AI-generated images, videos, and other digital material that falsely depict him.
After noted stars like Chiranjeevi, Jr NTR, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Pawan Kalyan, it is now the turn of Pawan Kalyan’s son Akira Nandan to seek legal protection of his personality rights. Akira has approached the High Court, citing growing concerns over the misuse of artificial intelligence to create content using his identity.
According to reports, Akira Nandan urged the court to direct the immediate removal of AI-generated images, videos, and other digital material that falsely depict him. The plea states that such content has been created and circulated without his consent, posing a serious threat to his privacy, dignity, and personal safety. It further argues that the unauthorised use of his name, likeness, and appearance amounts to a clear violation of his fundamental rights.
The petition also seeks a permanent restraint on individuals, platforms, and unknown entities from creating, publishing or circulating similar AI-generated content in the future. Emphasising that he is a private individual and not a public figure, Akira Nandan has asserted that he deserves a higher degree of legal protection against digital misuse and online exploitation.
The case highlights increasing legal concerns surrounding artificial intelligence and deepfake technology, especially when it involves children and young individuals associated with public personalities. The plea urges the court to formally recognise personality rights in the digital space and establish clear boundaries to prevent misuse of emerging technologies.
The matter is expected to attract wider attention as courts increasingly deal with issues related to AI ethics, privacy, and identity protection in the online era.
