Playback singer Kumar Sanu has filed a lawsuit in the Delhi High Court seeking protection of his **personality and publicity rights**, including his **name, voice, vocal style and technique, vocal arrangements and interpretations, mannerisms, images, photographs, likeness, caricatures, and signature**. The legal action specifically addresses the unauthorized use and commercial exploitation of these attributes, particularly concerning **artificial intelligence (AI) cloning technologies** that can replicate his voice and likeness without consent. The suit also invokes his **moral rights** under the Copyright Act, aiming to prevent misuse of his performances and identity in the digital age. The case is scheduled to be heard by Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora on October 13, 2025[1][2][3][4][5]. This litigation represents a significant development in protecting artists against emerging AI-based infringements and highlights the evolving challenges in safeguarding personality rights amid rapid technological advancements. Kumar Sanu's case may set a precedent for how courts address digital impersonation and unauthorized AI use of a celebrity's persona in India[1][5].
