Akshay Kumar calls AI videos showing him as sage Valmiki completely fake

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has publicly condemned artificial intelligence-generated videos that falsely show him portraying Maharishi Valmiki, the ancient sage who wrote the Ramayana. The actor took to social media to clarify that these videos are completely fabricated and not authentic.

In his statement, Kumar emphasized that he has never played the role of Maharishi Valmiki in any film or project. He expressed concern about how advanced AI technology is being misused to create convincing but false content featuring celebrities without their permission.

The fake videos have been circulating on various social media platforms, misleading fans and the general public. Many viewers initially believed the footage was real due to the sophisticated nature of AI-generated content, which can now create highly realistic videos of people saying or doing things they never actually did.

Kumar’s response highlights a growing problem in the entertainment industry and society at large, where deepfake technology and AI-generated content can spread misinformation. The actor urged his fans to be cautious about believing everything they see online and to verify information from official sources.

This incident raises important questions about digital authenticity, consent, and the need for better regulations around AI-generated content featuring real people.
