The Delhi High Court asked the makers of the film Doosra to respond to a lawsuit filed by former cricketer Sourav Ganguly alleging personality rights violations.
The court refused to stay the theatrical release of the movie on Friday but ordered defendants to arrange a private screening ahead of the next hearing on October 29.
Lawyers for the filmmakers asserted that Doosra is a fictional drama about a young girl inspired by sporting events rather than a biopic.
