MUMBAI: After a morphed video of Rashmika Mandanna became viral, Amitabh Bachchan batted for legal action. The Pushpa celebrity appeared in a deepfake video that went viral online on Sunday. The woman with Rashmika's face was seen entering an elevator while wearing a fitting outfit in the unverified video. A few social media users came out to clarify that the video had been deepfaked after it quickly went viral.

A reporter came forward to confirm the fakeness of the video. He wrote on X, “There is an urgent need for a legal and regulatory framework to deal with deepfake in India. You might have seen this viral video of actress Rashmika Mandanna on Instagram. But wait, this is a deepfake video of Zara Patel.”
He added, “From a deepfake POV, the viral video is perfect enough for ordinary social media users to fall for it. But if you watch the video carefully, you can see at (0:01) that when Rashmika (deepfake) was entering the lift, suddenly her face changed from the other girl to Rashmika.”
Retweeting his message, Amitabh Bachchan called for legal action to be taken against such incidents. He wrote, “Yes this is a strong case for legal,” showed his support to his Goodbye co-star. Rashmika hasn't responded to the video yet.
