Chuttamalle, the chartbuster from Anirudh Ravichander’s Devara, became an instant sensation and emerged as one of the biggest highlights of the film. Janhvi Kapoor’s glamour and the chemistry she shared with Jr. NTR added significantly to the song’s popularity during the film’s theatrical run. However, the track has now become the subject of a disturbing AI deepfake controversy.
An edited version of the video song featuring a digitally manipulated, sexually explicit depiction of Janhvi Kapoor has reportedly been circulating online. The obscene deepfake video has spread rapidly across social media platforms, once again highlighting the serious misuse of artificial intelligence and face-swapping technologies. Such manipulated content can cause severe reputational and personal harm, making stronger action against those responsible increasingly important.
Janhvi is reportedly yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident. Earlier, actress Rashmika Mandanna also became a victim of an AI-generated deepfake video, sparking widespread discussion about the misuse of emerging technology. The latest incident involving Janhvi once again underlines the need for stricter safeguards and legal action against the creation and circulation of non-consensual deepfake content.
