MUMBAI: Just two months after the Delhi High Court refused to stay the
release of a movie allegedly based on the life of Sushant Singh Rajput, the late actor's father has reportedly filed a fresh plea against the release of films and books based on the B-town star.
Back in July this year, Sushant Singh Rajput's father Krishna Kishore Singh sought an interlocutory injunction against the film makers of Nyay: The Justice. However, the court had rejected it, stating that rights of privacy, publicity and personality vested in Sushant had ceased to exist upon the actor's demise.
Now, according to reports, Sushant's father has filed a fresh appeal in the Delhi High Court. Listing four movies and two books, allegedly inspired by Sushant's life and untimely demise, Krishna Kishore Singh, filed the petition to protect Sushant's publicity, privacy and rights.
Sharing that parties cannot make a movie about Sushant Singh's private life because the right to privacy of his father includes family life, Sushant's father's lawyer explained that a nine judge bench in Puttuswamy had stated that right to privacy also includes dignified death.
"By making a mockery of his death, privacy rights of Sushant Singh Rajput are being infringed. Puttaswamy also says it's the court's job to include as many fundamental rights as possible. And if there is a foreign law convention which is not in conflict with Indian law the same should be adopted," said in a conversation with Times.
On 14 June 2020, Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging from the ceiling fan at his room in Bandra, Mumbai. The cause of death was ruled to have been suicide and the official postmortem reports concluded the B-town actor died of asphyxia due to hanging.
