Ranveer Singh flags risk of deepfake after AI video
Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh on Friday warned the public of the misuse of deepfake AI after a fake video of the ‘Bajirao Mastani’ actor criticising a political party went viral during Lok Sabha elections voting phase 1.
Earlier, a similar AI deepfake video of superstar Aamir Khan went viral on the internet, in which the ‘Lagaan’ actor can be seen favouring a particular political party.
Rashmika Mandanna too became victim of Deepfake
While the advancement in technology has solved many problems of the people, it has also given rise to many new problems.
Every day someone becomes its victim. Few time back, a deepfake video of Pushpa fame actress Rashmika Mandanna went viral, which also created a lot of uproar.
And now Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh has become its victim.
What does his deepfake say?
In the deepfake video of Ranveer Singh, the ‘Padmavat’ star can be heard criticising the BJP government and PM Modi.
Singh can be seen interacting with the media from Kashi in Uttar Pradesh. However, the video was made using an artificial intelligence voice clone of the actor.
The viral video has been widely circulated on social media. D-Intent Data took to X to share the two videos in a post.
‘Modi ji’s aim is to celebrate our unhappy life. Our pain, our unemployment and our inflation. Because we are Bharatvarsh.. now moving towards the era of injustice.. at such a speed but we should not forget to demand our development and justice. So think and vote’, he was seen saying in the video.
Video footage was from Malhotra’s fashion show
The footage used to create the fake video was from Ranveer Singh’s recent visit to Varanasi for a fashion show.
The Bollywood actor recently turned showstopper along with actress Kriti Sanon, at an open-air fashion show by the Ganges in Varanasi. The show was organised by top couturier Manish Malhotra.
During his visit to Varanasi, Ranveer Singh shared his experience of witnessing the cultural richness of the ancient city.
During his interaction with the media, he 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.
