Former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly has been involved in separate legal proceedings regarding his commercial and personality rights.

In a dispute with Percept Talent Management concerning a 2003 player representation agreement, the Supreme Court of India declined to intervene, upholding a previous ruling in favor of Ganguly. The case involved an arbitral award of ₹14.49 crore plus interest, following a Calcutta High Court decision that distinguished Ganguly’s promotional activities from his role with the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Separately, the Delhi High Court denied a request to stay the theatrical release of the film ‘Doosra’. Ganguly and Luv Films LLP challenged the film, alleging it unauthorizedly exploits his identity and career highlights, such as his leadership of the Indian cricket team. The petitioners argued the film’s promotion could mislead audiences into believing he endorsed the project, noting they have an existing agreement for an authorized biopic, ‘Dada – The Sourav Ganguly Story’, scheduled for 2027.
