Rashmika Mandanna Video: Amitabh Bachchan has demanded legal action after a morphed video of Rashmika Mandanna surfaced online. On Sunday, Rashmika Mandanna deepfake video went viral, wherein the woman with Rashmika’s face was seen getting into a lift, wearing a fitted outfit. The video started doing rounds on social media and a few netizens clarified that the video was fake.
Later, a journalist also confirmed that the video was fake. “There is an urgent need for a legal and regulatory framework to deal with deepfake in India. You might have seen this viral video of actress Rashmika Mandanna on Instagram. But wait, this is a deepfake video of Zara Patel,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“From a deepfake POV, the viral video is perfect enough for ordinary social media users to fall for it. But if you watch the video carefully, you can see at (0:01) that when Rashmika (deepfake) was entering the lift, suddenly her face changed from the other girl to Rashmika,” he added.
Retweeting his post, Big B urged for legal action, saying, “Yes this is a strong case for legal." On the other hand, Rashmika is yet to comment on the video. Check his tweet below.
What is Deepfake technology?
