Salman Khan Has Filed A Case Against This Video Game; Why?

Mumbai: It has been years but Salman Khan’s infamous hit-and-run still seems to be fresh in people’s minds, otherwise why would anyone make ‘Selmon Bhai,’ a video game allegedly based on the 2002 case?

Now, the actor has moved a Mumbai civil court against the video game. The court has ordered a temporary restraint on access to the game.

The court restrained the makers of the game, Parody Studios Pvt Ltd and its directors, from disseminating, launching, re-launching and recreating the game or any other content relating to the actor.

The court also directed the makers to immediately take down/ block/disable access to the game from Google Play Store and all other platforms. “Upon watching the game and its images, it prima facie matches with the identity of the plaintiff (Khan) and to the hit-and-run case connected to the plaintiff,” the court said. It further said Salman had never given his consent for the game, Hindustan Times reported.

It added that Salman’s image was being ‘tarnished’ by the game. “When the plaintiff has not given his consent for developing of the game, which is very similar to his identity and the case against him, certainly his right to privacy is being deprived and his image is also being tarnished,” the order said.
