As the Lok Sabha elections draw near, numerous Bollywood stars have become targets of deepfake technology, manipulated to promote specific political parties. A recent example is a viral video featuring Aamir Khan endorsing the Congress party, followed by another manipulated video of Ranveer Singh doing the same. The clip was recorded during the actor's recent visit to Varanasi, where he shared his profound experience of exploring the city's spiritual essence.
The video is clearly fabricated, evident from several indicators. Ranveer's lip movements do not match the audio, and the footage appears to be taken from his recent visit to Kashi, where he praised Prime Minister Modi for his efforts in revitalizing the city.
