Dismissing a petition that sought a direction to authorities concerned to take appropriate action against celebrities who endorsed online games in advertisements, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Tuesday observed that the petition was a waste of time and nothing but an attempt by the petitioner to gain publicity.
The court was hearing the petition filed by I. Mohammed Razvi of Madurai. In his petition filed in 2020, he sought a direction to take action against cricketer Virat Kohli, former cricketer Sourav Ganguly and actors Prakash Raj, Tamannaah Bhatia, Rana Daggubati and Sudeep who had endorsed online games in advertisements.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
