After the viral success of Rashmika Mandanna, Alia Bhatt, and Nora Fatehi’s deepfake videos, there was a general controversy against the improper use of technology and the lack of sufficient legal protections that have allowed this dangerous application of artificial intelligence (AI) to proliferate. And now, Ranveer Singh has fallen victim to the latest threat plaguing the film business. In a recent development, Ranveer Singh’s official spokesman revealed that a FIR has been filed for the Cyber Crime Cell to conduct additional investigation in response to a police complaint made by Ranveer.

“Yes, we have filed the police complaint and FIR has been lodged against the handle that was promoting the AI-generated deepfake video of Mr. Ranveer Singh,” the spokesman said in a statement.

In an artificial intelligence (AI) produced deepfake video, the actor appears to be discussing politics. The actor’s recent trip to Varanasi is captured on camera, but the audio is a voice clone created using artificial intelligence. Singh might be seen in the video pleading with voters to support “Nayay (justice)” in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. It was eventually made clear, though, that the viral video had been altered and changed. In addition, Ranveer addressed the matter and issued a social media warning, writing on X, “Deepfake se bacho dostonnnn.”

Aamir Khan, the popular actor from Bollywood, was seen supporting a political party in another deepfake video that went viral earlier this month on social media. Following widespread public interest in the video, Mumbai police acted and filed a formal complaint (FIR) against an unidentified individual. Khan’s office filed a police report (FIR) at the Khar Police station, citing pertinent parts of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) such as 419 (impersonation), 420 (cheating), and other Information Technology Act sections.

Aamir Khan’s representative then released a statement in which they made it clear that the widely circulated video was “fake.” We would like to make it clear that throughout his 35-year career, Mr. Aamir Khan has never sponsored a political party. He has committed his time to educating the public about the Election Commission.
