Chennai: The Madras high court has blocked the release of censor-certified Hindi film`Main Hoon Rajinikanth' on the ground that it would hurt the `personality right' of Tamil superstar Rajinikanth.

Justice R Subbiah issued a permanent stay on the film's release, after the actor, identifying himself as Shivaji Rao Gaikwad, moved the court saying his name and image had been used by Mumbai-based Varsha Productions for the movie. He said associating his “personality“ with such a “feature film of immoral and promiscuous nature” would damage his reputation.
