FIR Against Handle for AI-Deepfake Video of Ranveer Singh: Spokesperson Clarifies
An FIR has been filed against the social media account promoting a deepfake video of Ranveer Singh. The video, edited using AI technology, shows Singh expressing political views. The actor has filed a police complaint, and the FIR has been lodged for further investigation by the Cyber Crime Cell. Singh had previously warned about the deepfake video on social media. This incident follows a similar case involving Aamir Khan, whose deepfake video promoting a political party led to an FIR against an unidentified person by the Mumbai Police.

An FIR has been filed against the social media handle promoting the deepfake video of Ranveer Singh, the actor's spokesperson said on Monday.
Last week, a video of Singh went viral on the Internet in which the actor could be seen voicing his political opinion.
In the original clip, which seems to have been edited using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, was a snippet from an interview the actor gave when he was in Varanasi for a fashion show.
According to the spokesperson, Singh has filed a police complaint and the FIR has been lodged for further investigation by the Cyber Crime Cell.
''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,'' a spokesperson for the actor said in a statement.
Soon after the video went viral, the actor warned the audience on X by writing, ''Deepfake se bacho dostonnnn (Beware of deepfake, friends)'' Before Singh, an AI-edited clip of superstar Aamir Khan went viral on social media. The Mumbai Police have registered an FIR against an unidentified person in connection with a deepfake video of Khan in which he is purportedly seen promoting a political party, an official said.
