Vijay Deverakonda has joined Jr NTR in condemning a deepfake video of Janhvi Kapoor that surfaced online this week, calling the manipulation 'the digital equivalent of sexual assault'. The clip, which recontextualised a scene from Devara: Part One into something explicit using AI, sparked outrage across social media and drew swift backlash from Telugu cinema’s biggest names.
NTR had already slammed the video as 'disgusting, sick and shameless', urging people not to watch or share it. Vijay didn’t just echo that — he amplified it, quote-tweeting NTR’s statement with his own blistering take. 'We have stooped to the levels of absolute lowlife,' he wrote, adding that such non-consensual use of technology should carry the harshest legal consequences.
He didn’t mince words: this isn’t just a prank or a meme. It’s an act of violation. And he’s not alone in seeing it that way. The reaction from actors like Suriya and Dhanush, who’ve publicly praised the film Dorothy, suggests a growing industry-wide unease over how easily real people are being weaponised by AI.
