Ranveer Singh warns fans against deepfakes as video with political message goes viral

After actor Aamir Khan flagged a deepfake video of him - a purported election pitch for a certain political party, actor Ranveer Singh has also fallen prey to the menace sweeping the industry.

On his Instagram story, Ranveer Singh wrote, "Deepfake se bacho doston (Friends, beware of deepfakes)."

The actor's video recently surfaced online and purportedly showed him voicing his political views.

While the video - an interview he gave during his recent Varanasi visit - is genuine, the audio was generated with an AI-enabled voice clone.
