Deepfake technology has emerged as a debatable issue of discussion posterior to a video vilely featuring actress Rashmika Mandanna went viral on social media.

However, Rashmika is not the only actress to have been targeted by deepfake technology. Previously, several celebrities have also been subjected to such incidents.

Now, the recent victim is Ranveer Singh. The video in question is from the actor’s visit to Varanasi for a fashion show curated by designer Manish Malhotra.Actress Kriti Sanon was also a part of the event.

Days following an AI-generated video featuring the actor surfaced online where he is purportedly heard voicing his political views, the actor has taken the legal route and filed an FIR in the matter.

As per Ranveer’s spokesperson said, Ranveer has filed the police complaint and FIR has been lodged against the handle that was promoting the AI-generated deepfake video of the actor.

In the midst of his visit to the ancient city, which happens to be one of the world’s oldest pilgrimage sites, Ranveer spoke highly of the changes that have come about in terms of the public infrastructure overhaul while also sharing his ‘divine’ experience of the city.
Though the video appears genuine, the audio is of an AI-enabled voice clone of Ranveer.

Ranveer also recently addressed and warned the audience on social media by writing, “Deepfake se bacho dostonnnn.” (Beware of Fake Videos Friends ).
