Amazon Prime Video informed the Bombay High Court that it has deleted the Telugu film titled V, which illicitly portrayed actor Sakshi Malik's photo. The OTT platform said that Malik's photo also has been cropped out because of which they had to face litigation.
Nani and Sudheer Babu's V, directed by Mohan Krishna Indraganti released directly on Amazon Prime Video on September 5.
After making the necessary changes, the OTT platform has now been allowed to release the new version. The court has made it clear that Malik's photo cannot be used without her express approval.
Malik requested permission to address the court, so Justice Gautam Patel spoke to her on video call on Thursday (March 4). She told the court about the trauma, trials and tribulations that she had to face on account of the illicit use of her photo in a defamatory manner in the film.
Malik said, "I had gotten many offers last year. It is embarrassing for me what had happened.
It is difficult to say how I felt. I could have been doing so many projects by now, but now I have lost all that. I don't know if I have any scope in this industry. The producers have stopped calling."
Kirpekar also argued saying "Two days after the movie released in September 2020, Malik asked them to delete but they did not do anything. Only when we moved the court, they deleted it in 24 hours."
