24 Apr – Ranveer Singh has recently lodged a complaint with the police following the misuse of his image and voice by irresponsible parties. The actor recently spoke to the Cyber Crime Cell of Mumbai Police after an AI-generated video of him endorsing a political party went viral online.
The video itself was from his recent visit to Varanasi, though the audio of his voice that came with it was false.
Said his rep, "Yes, we have filed the police complaint and an FIR has been lodged against the handle that was promoting the AI-generated deepfake video of Mr Ranveer Singh." The actor himself recently took to social media to warn fans not to fall victim to such deepfake. He is not the first actor whose likeness was used to promote a certain political party. Earlier, Aamir Khan's old video from his show, "Satyameva Jayate" was also AI-generated to campaign for a party.
