Artificial Intelligence is at again! A new deepfake video is now trending and for all the wrong reasons. Actress Rashmika Mandanna’s deepfake video has become possibly the most-watched video of the day as it shows a woman, wearing a black outfit entering a lift. What’s concerning is that the video is morphed.
Rashmika’s face has been imposed on another woman’s video who is seen wearing an outfit with a plunging neckline and posing for a photo.
As the video turned viral, netizens questioned what this could mean for all kinds of news items since it’s so easy to morph images and question the authenticity of any information on the net. As users asked for some sort of scrutiny, veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan reposted the video and said, “Yes this is a strong case for legal.”
The woman in the original video is a British-Indian woman Zara Patel, who has a massive following on social media. The video was posted by Zara on October 9. The video has been edited in such a way that it’s difficult to make out that it’s “fake”.
On the work front, Rashmika Mandanna will next be seen opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Animal. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film will release on December 1.
