NTR fans have filed a police complaint over AI-generated deepfake videos featuring the actor and Janhvi Kapoor, following the viral spread of manipulated footage from Devara: Part 1’s ‘Chuttamalle’ sequence. The case was registered after Nandipati Murali, a fan, met with Sajjanar IPS in Hyderabad, who confirmed the formation of a special investigation team to probe the matter. Murali shared on social media that the officer had personally taken charge, promising close oversight. Dil Raju, TFDC chairman, was credited for facilitating the meeting. The move comes amid growing industry-wide alarm — Mrunal Thakur has also issued legal warnings over similar misuse, while actress Lakshmi Priya faces a separate complaint from Ansiba Hassan over allegedly offensive social media remarks. No further details on the alleged content were provided by Track Tollywood, but the escalation marks one of the first formal legal responses to AI deepfakes in Telugu cinema. The investigation is now underway.
