The deepfake video of Rashmika Mandanna which was released on social media has become a huge talking point. A lot of celebrities showed their support to the actress and expressed their concerns on the misuse of AI technology. Rashmika too wrote a lengthy post explaining how she was deeply hurt by all this.
Now, hero Naga Chaitanya too showed his support by writing, “It’s truly disheartening to see how technology is being misused and the thought of what this can progress to in the future is even scarier. Action has to be taken and some kind of law has to be enforced to protect people who have and will be a victim to this .Strength to you.”
Even Amitabh Bachchan said that legal action should be taken on whoever did this. Dubbing artist and singer Chinmayee too wrote at length on how she feels about all of this. She says, “Now a DeepFake Rashmika video surfaces and I just saw her Instagram story where she genuinely looks disturbed – In a country where women’s bodies are exploited everyday, Deep Fake is going to be the next weapon they use to target and harass and blackmail girls to extort, blackmail and rape; Their clueless families in one small village or town is not going to understand when the so called maanam / or honour is at stake.”
Mrunal too penned a noted on her Insta story and stated, “Shame on people who resort to such things, it shows that there is no conscience left at all in such people. Thank you @rashmika_mandanna for speaking up, for addressing this issue that so far we have seen glimpses of but a lot of us chose to remain silent. Everyday there are morphed, edited videos of female actors floating around on internet zooming into inappropriate body parts. Where are we heading as a community, as a society? We may be actresses in the “limelight” but at the end of the day each one of us are human. Why aren’t we talking about it? Don’t remain silent, now is not the time.”
