The Bombay City Civil court on Thursday passed an interim order against unknown persons restraining them from spreading all speculations and rumours about FAU-G being conceptualizing by late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The game is being seen as India’s answer to PUB G.
GOQii Technologies Private Limited and Studio nCore Private Limited had approached the civil court and cited that they were being “caused great hardship” by alleged rumours being spread on social media. The alleged defamatory messages also affected those associated with the private firm — including the former’s CEO Vishal Gondal, ambassador actor Akshay Kumar and other concerned persons, as reported by Indian Express.
After PUB G was banned in India, Akshay Kumar, who is the face of GOQii, had announced the FAU-G game will be released by the end of October. The actor has been dragged into an alleged conspiracy, speculations that the game FAU G was originally Sushant Singh Rajput’s brainchild.
