Janhvi Kapoor condemns AI‑altered ‘Chuttamalle’ video with Jr NTR as deeply violating

An AI‑generated version of the popular song “Chuttamalle”, originally featuring Jr NTR, was circulated online with actress Janhvi Kapoor’s likeness superimposed onto the footage. The deep‑fake clip sparked immediate backlash after Kapoor posted a statement on her verified social‑media account, describing the manipulation as a “deeply violating” breach of her privacy and dignity. She urged platforms and creators to refrain from using her image without consent and called for stricter enforcement against such digital misuse. The incident has reignited concerns within the Indian entertainment industry about the growing prevalence of deep‑fake technology and its potential to damage personal reputations. Industry observers note that while AI tools enable creative expression, they also pose ethical challenges that require clear legal and platform‑level safeguards.
