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.”
