Renowned actor Anup Soni recently fell victim to a deepfake video that falsely promoted Indian Premier League (IPL) betting using clips from his popular show, Crime Patrol. The video, which quickly went viral, utilized artificial intelligence (AI) technology to mimic Soni's voice convincingly. This led viewers to mistakenly believe that the actor was endorsing betting activities. Following the widespread circulation of this deceptive video, Soni issued a statement condemning the act.
