HC restrains Emami from airing oil ad featuring Big B
NEW DELHI: Ayurvedic oil maker Emami Ltd. has been restrained by Delhi High Court from airing a TV commercial of its “Navratan” oil with megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
Another oil manufacturer, G.K. Burman Herbal (India), alleged that Emami‘s commercial degraded its product.
Justice Manmohan Singh in an ex-parte interim order directed Emami to stop all forms of the TV commercial.
Burman Herbal sought permanent injunction on “circulating, distributing, telecasting, broadcasting and advertising” any material defaming or maligning its product.
The petitioner alleged that Emami “knowingly and fraudulently” made the advertisement to harm the goodwill and reputation which they earned in the last 25 years.
“The sole motive of Emami is to drive out healthy competition from the market and to make illegal and unlawful gains,” alleged the petitioner.
G K Burman Herbal India is seeking permanent injunction for infringement of its trade marks and copy right violation and damages worth Rs two million.
Ajay Sahani, counsel for Burman, submitted before the court that the product Himgange Ayurvedic Oil was developed by the company‘s founder Gautam Kumar Burman in 1987.
He also claimed that the product had distinctive artistic features by way of the shape of a green background label which carried the trade mark “Hingange” in a distinctive artistic vernacular font in yellow colour, with the expression ‘Ayurvedic Teil‘ in white artistic vernacular font below it.

Collective Artists Network reshuffles talent leadership
Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee take expanded roles in core division.
MUMBAI: Collective Artists Network just handed the talent baton to its homegrown stars because when your agents have been building careers this long, it’s time to let them run the show. Collective Artists Network has announced the next phase of leadership for its talent management business, elevating senior agents Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee to expanded roles within the division. The move strengthens the company’s foundational talent arm while it continues to grow into content creation and production-led ventures.
Each of the three has played a significant part in shaping artist careers across films, digital platforms and brand partnerships. Together they now represent the next generation of leadership for Collective’s talent operations, with a continued focus on long-term career building, strong partnerships and adapting representation to a fast-changing media landscape.
Collective Artists Network founder and Group CEO Vijay Subramaniam remains actively involved in guiding artist strategy and key relationships. He said, “Talent management has been the foundation on which Collective was built, and that philosophy continues to guide how we grow the company. As we enter this next phase, it’s important that the people leading this business have both deep context and long-term convictions.”
Collective Artists Network partner and head of talent Janahavi Rawal added, “Collective’s talent business has always been built on trust, long-term thinking, and a deep understanding of where artists want to go next. Fiona, Jinal, and Arjun have each played an important role in shaping the careers of the artists we represent, and this phase is about empowering our senior agents further while building the right support systems around them.”
The leadership evolution reflects Collective’s belief in promoting from within and creating clear ownership across verticals. In a talent world where yesterday’s agent is tomorrow’s partner, Collective isn’t just reshuffling chairs, it’s handing the spotlight to the people who’ve been quietly directing the show all along.
