Legal Question in Intellectual Property in India

Dear Sir/Mam

We are engaged in trading/manufacturing of games. We are deciding to manufacture a board game comprising of personalities' facts cards containing some rare facts about famous personalities (more than 500 personalities). Such game shall be marketed in India. Data shall be taken from internet & shall not tarnish the image of personality (i.e., information would be totally true & fair, such facts shall not be negative). Do we need to take consent of such personalities or pay royalty to them?

Kindly advise. I would be glad to recieve quick & fair reply.
Regards
Varun Gupta

It is better to get permission from the concerned department or officials to start such business.
