'Beware of Deepfakes': Actor Ranveer Singh Reacts After His AI Video Goes Viral

Ranveer Singh has reacted after his deepfake video went viral on the internet. Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, an AI-generated video of the Gully Boy actor surfaced on social media, in which he can be seen endorsing a political party.

The video was actually from Ranveer's recent visit to Varanasi with actor Kriti Sanon for celebrity designer Manish Malhotra's fashion show. In the original video, Ranveer was sharing his divine experience of visiting the city and its temples.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on 19 April, Ranveer wrote, "Deepfake se bacho dostonnnn (Beware of deepfake, friends).”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Ranveer is currently gearing up for Farhan Akhtar's Don 3. The film will also star Kiara Advani in the lead role.
