According to court sources, the interim order bars companies, individuals, or organizations from using Kamal Haasan’s name, likeness, or photographs for commercial purposes without prior permission. The move reflects growing concerns over the misuse of celebrity images in advertisements, promotions, and other commercial ventures.
