A movie named Shaadi Ke Director Karan Aur Johar was all set to release, but on Friday, the Bombay High Court put a halt on its release, considering that the title and content of the film violate ace filmmaker Karan Johar`s privacy and personality rights and infringe on his brand value. This decision came after Karan Johar approached the High Court in June 2024, seeking a restraint on the film`s release.

Shaadi Ke Director Karan Aur Johar release cancelled

A single-judge bench of Justice R.I. Chagla, while ordering a stay on the release of the film, stated that its title would inevitably result in people directly associating it with Johar. In June 2024, when Johar sought a halt on the movie`s release, he argued that “unless his consent is taken for using his personal attributes, such as his name and profession, there is a violation of such rights.”
