Recently Rajinikanth filed a case to stop release of a movie based on him. One of the arguments he may use is that his image/ personality etc are his copyright. My question is related to such acts. Let's say I get a t-shirt printed with an image of Rajinikanth and sell it publicly. Also, lets assume the t-shirt in no way disrespects him but is a form of a nice tribute. And I am using respect in a general way - lets skip any arguments related to a definition of respect. Is that allowed under Indian Copyright Law or Personality/ Property law?
There are a lot of people who are printing 'Fan T-shirts' of sports stars as well. Are they not violating any law?
