Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh recently became a victim of deepfake. Ranveer's AI video promoting a political party took the internet by storm. Now, the actor has finally broken his silence against the fake video on his Instagram story. 

'Beware of Deepfake, friends' 

Ranveer Singh has reacted to his deep-fake video, which saw the actor criticising the Narendra Modi-led government at the centre. The actor took to his Instagram story to drop a cautionary message for fans. He wrote, “Deepfake se bacho dostonnnn (Beware of deepfake, friends).” The video that had gone viral earlier was from his recent visit to Varanasi for designer Manish Malhotra's fashion show. He was also joined by Kriti Sanon for the trip. 

In the original video, the 'Simmba' actor lauded PM Modi's vision. However, in the AI-synthesised version, he was seen criticising the BJP government, while urging to vote for Congress. 


Ranveer Singh work front

Ranveer has an exciting line-up of projects in the pipeline. He is currently gearing up for the release of 'Singham Again', also featuring Deepika Padukone, Ajay Devgn, Arjun Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and others. The actor has also been roped in to play the iconic role of Don in the third part of the film series. The new installment also stars Kiara Advani. If reports are to be believed, 'Simmba 2' is also in the works.
