Nani's V taken down from Amazon Prime following Bombay HC's orders over illicit image use

Bombay High Court, a handful of hours ago, had asked streaming giant Amazon Prime Video to pull down Nani's V, which is one of the latest additions to the streaming service's content repertoire. Reportedly, the makers of Nani's V can only re-upload the film onto the streaming platform once they have deleted a scene from a film that sees the use of a photograph of a Mumbai-based actor, Sakshi Malik without her consent. On the 3rd of March, 2021, the court released an order that spoke about how the illicit use of somebody's image in a feature presentation is against the law and why one must take the subject's consent.
