England and Chelsea Captain John Terry is threatening to launch a law suit against the Indian government after it allowed the use of his image on an anti-smoking message without his knowledge or permission.
The image, used on the packaging of popular Gold Flake cigarettes, was morphed to show the controversial star’s lungs filling with tar.
Terry’s management is now considering legal action, while Indian officials are investigating how the photograph was chosen and printed on the message.
Elite management said, “It’s been brought to our attention that an image of our client has been used on some cigarette packaging without our consent or knowledge.
“We’ve now instructed our legal team to investigate this matter,” the spokesperson added.
