FollowRashmika Mandanna recently became a victim of cybercrime when a deepfake video of her surfaced on social media, which left her fans disappointed. In the manipulated video, a woman in a black outfit is seen entering an elevator, with Rashmika Mandanna's face digitally altered onto hers. While many people recognized the video as a fake, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan expressed his concerns and called for legal action against the creators.
Amitabh Bachchan promptly noticed the deepfake video and took to social media to demand legal action against it. He shared his viewpoint on the matter, stating, "Yes, this is a strong case for legal action (sic)." It's important to note that the original video featured Zara Patel, a British Indian with a significant social media following, not Rashmika Mandanna. The megastar also retweeted a journalist's post that showcased the genuine video of Zara Patel.
Rashmika Mandanna made her Bollywood debut in 2022 with the film "Goodbye," directed by Vikas Behl. The movie also starred Neena Gupta, Pavail Gulati, Elli AvrRam, Sunil Grover, and Sahil Mehta in prominent roles, with Rashmika portraying the role of Amitabh Bachchan's daughter.
