Chiranjeevi Slams AI Morphed Janhvi Kapoor Video
Megastar Chiranjeevi expresses deep disturbance over an AI-generated morphed video of Janhvi Kapoor and calls for industry-wide action against digital abuse.
Megastar Chiranjeevi has voiced his intense outrage following the emergence of an AI-generated video that digitally morphed actress Janhvi Kapoor's appearance from the song 'Chuttamalle' in the film Devara: Part 1. The veteran actor described the incident as a cruel and shameful misuse of technology that cannot be brushed aside as mere entertainment.
A Cruel Misuse of Technology
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Chiranjeevi expressed his profound distress over the creation of degrading content targeting women through artificial intelligence. He emphasized that such digital manipulation is a serious offense rather than a joke.
"I am deeply disturbed by the use of AI to create degrading and morphed videos of a woman. Such acts are cruel, shameful and completely unacceptable. I strongly condemn them," the actor stated.
The superstar highlighted that this issue extends far beyond a single individual or a specific film. He warned that the misuse of AI is a growing threat that could target anyone in the future, making it a collective responsibility to stand against such abuse.
Call for Industry-Wide Action
Chiranjeevi is not merely calling for condemnation but is actively seeking structural changes within the film fraternity to prevent such incidents. He announced plans to escalate the matter to several major industry bodies, including:
- The Telugu Film Chamber
- The Producers’ Council
- Other affiliated industry organizations
He has proposed the formation of a dedicated committee and support cell. This specialized team would work in close coordination with Cyber Crime authorities to provide support to victims, facilitate the removal of harmful content, and pursue rigorous legal action against the perpetrators.
A Plea to the Public and Government
The actor issued a stern warning to those involved in the lifecycle of such content, stating that both the creators and those who deliberately amplify or spread these videos must be held accountable under the law. He urged the public to avoid a common pitfall: do not watch, download, or share these videos, even if the intention is to criticize them.
Instead, he advised citizens to report such content directly to social media platforms and Cyber Crime authorities. Chiranjeevi also called upon both the Central and State Governments to implement stronger, more effective measures to combat the misuse of AI for digital abuse.
"Protecting human dignity is our collective responsibility. Let us stand together, speak up and act," he concluded, calling for a united front from artists, technicians, fans, and audiences alike.
