Following the global success of a modified video of rashmika mandanna, amitabh bachchan has filed for legal action. A deepfake video of the pushpa star appeared online on Sunday. The unconfirmed footage showed the lady with Rashmika's face entering a lift while dressed in a form-fitting garment. The video went viral right after, and some social media users came out to admit that it was a deepfake.
A journalist came forward and confirmed that the video was fake. “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 wrote on X.
“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 changes from the other girl to rashmika,” he added.

Amitabh Bachchan retweeted his post and urged for a legal action to be taken against such incidents. “Yes this is a strong case for legal,” he said, showing his support to his Goodbye co-star. Meanwhile, rashmika is yet to react to the video.
