Bollywood Actor Ranveer Singh has reported the social media account that was advertising his deepfake video created by artificial intelligence.

According to his representative, Ranveer filed a police complaint and a formal complaint for the Cyber Crime Cell to go into further. The action was taken a few days after the actor’s deepfake video began to circulate on social media.

Ranveer’s spokesperson said, “Yes, we have filed the police complaint and FIR has been lodged against the handle that was promoting the AI-generated deepfake video of Mr Ranveer Singh.”

In the deepfake video, the actor is purportedly heard voicing his political views. While the video, from the actor’s recent visit to Varanasi, appears genuine, the audio is of an AI-synthesised voice clone of Ranveer.
