Amitabh Bachchan has batted for a legal action after a morphed video of Rashmika Mandanna has gone viral. On Sunday, a deepfake video of the Pushpa star surfaced online. In the unverified video, the woman with Rashmika’s face was seen getting into a lift, wearing a fitted outfit. The video instantly went viral and a few social media users came forward to clarify that the video has been deepfaked.
A journalist came forward and 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.
“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 changes from the other girl to Rashmika,” he added.
Amitabh Bachchan retweeted his post and urged for a legal action to be taken against such incidents. “Yes this is a strong case for legal,” he said, showing his support to his Goodbye co-star. Meanwhile, Rashmika is yet to react to the video.
Amitabh has been busy with his work lately. The actor has been fulfilling his duties as the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati. For the big screen, Big B seems to have begun work on his film with Rajinikanth. Dubbed as Thalapathy 170, Amitabh reunited with Rajinikanth after 33 years. The duo shot a few scenes in Mumbai recently.
