Defamation Suit by Sakshi Malik: Amazon Prime Takes Down Nani Film

The Bombay High Court has directed streaming platform Amazon Prime to take down a Telugu film “V”, in an order on a defamation suit filed by Bollywood actor Sakshi Malik, Bar and Bench reported on Wednesday.

Malik had approached the court alleging that her photograph was used in the film by production company Venkateshwara Creations without prior permission, PTI reported. Her counsels Saveena Bedi and Alankar Kirpekar submitted to the court that the photo was taken from Malik’s Instagram account, Bar and Bench reported. They sought relief on three grounds – unauthorised invasion of privacy, unauthorised use of private material and the nature of use of the photo.

Kirpekar argued that the manner in which the image was used amounted to defamation, Bar and Bench reported.
