The internet is abuzz with a widely circulated deepfake video featuring Rashmika Mandanna. This AI-generated video has sparked worries about the potential misuse of artificial intelligence for spreading false information. Amitabh Bachchan and Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar have voiced strong criticism against the viral video.

Actor Rashmika Mandanna has expressed her dismay over a viral deepfake video that falsely portrays her entering an elevator, deeming it "extremely unsettling." In a post on a social media platform, the Animal star conveyed her distress, saying, "I'm deeply saddened to address and discuss the deepfake video of me circulating online. This kind of deception is not only alarming for me but for anyone who is vulnerable to technological misuse. Today, as a woman and an actress, I'm grateful for my family, friends, and well-wishers who provide me with protection and support. However, if this had happened during my school or college years, I can't fathom how I would have coped. We must tackle this issue collectively and urgently before more individuals fall victim to identity theft."

A video clip depicting Rashmika Mandanna entering an elevator has gained widespread circulation, shocking the online community when it was revealed that the woman in the video is, in fact, British-Indian influencer Zara Patel. Deepfake technology was used to morph Ms. Patel's face into that of Rashmika Mandanna.

Union Minister Rajeev Chandrashekhar has also responded to the video, reminding social media platforms of their legal obligations in combating misinformation.
