Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar on Thursday (February 24) said he would initiate legal action against a casino for using his morphed images to promote itself on social media. It is learnt that Tendulkar’s images were used to promote ‘Big Daddy’ casino, which is located in Goa.
“While my legal team will be taking the required action, I felt it was important for me to share this information with everyone,” the legendary right-handed batter posted on his Twitter page.
“It has come to my notice that there are multiple ads being shown on social media platforms, with a morphed photo showing me endorsing a casino,” he further said.
