It is argued that this pic is fair use for

• Lokesh because

1. The picture is that of an individual regarded widely as a popular figure in Indian cinema;
2. The photo is only being used for informational purposes;
3. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article.
4. There are no copyright free pics available, and the person depicted is dead so a new one cannot be created.
