A fake, sexually explicit AI video of Janhvi Kapoor in the ‘Chuttamalle’ song from Devara: Part 1 has surfaced online, sparking outrage from the actor and co-star Jr NTR. The clip, which manipulates her likeness into a vulgar context, was shared widely on social media within hours of its emergence. Both actors have condemned it as ‘disgusting’ and ‘disturbing’, with Jr NTR calling it a betrayal of Indian cultural values — specifically the reverence for women as matru devobhava. He vowed legal action against creators and spreaders, warning that such content could target any woman, including family members. Janhvi echoed the sentiment, labeling it a ‘clear misuse of AI’ and confirming that legal steps are underway. The original song, composed by Anirudh Ravichander and sung by Shilpa Rao, was released in September 2024 and became a major hit. This incident adds to a growing list of AI-generated deepfakes targeting female celebrities, including Rukmini Vasanth, Shalini Pandey, Alia Bhatt, and Rashmika Mandanna. Whose voices and images have been weaponized without consent. No arrests have been made yet. The case now sits at the intersection of digital ethics, privacy law, and celebrity vulnerability. Next stop: state-level policy responses. And whether India’s tech regulators finally move fast enough.
