Recently, Bollywood veteran Jackie Shroff approached the Delhi High Court, filing a petition to protect the unauthorized use of his name, surname, and iconic dialogues without his consent. He sought a legal order to prevent anyone from using elements related to his persona without permission, emphasizing that such actions would violate his personality and publicity rights.
Krishna Abhishek Exempted from the Order
In light of this legal action, there was concern that comedian Krishna Abhishek, known for his spot-on imitations of various Bollywood stars, including Jackie Shroff, might no longer be able to portray the actor in his performances. Krishna has often delighted audiences by mimicking Shroff’s unique style and mannerisms on numerous reality shows, leading fans to wonder if this would come to an end.
Jackie Shroff’s Personal Call to Krishna
However, in an interview with ETimes, Krishna revealed that Jackie Shroff personally called him after the legal proceedings. During the call, Shroff not only granted him permission to continue the imitation but also praised Krishna for his talent. According to Krishna, Shroff made it clear that he was the only artist allowed to imitate him, showing his admiration for Krishna’s performances.
