"Disgusting, Sick and Shameless": Jr NTR Slams Morphed Chuttamalle Video
Actor Jr NTR lashes out at the creators of a morphed AI video of his song Chuttamalle, promising strict legal action against those responsible.
Telugu superstar Jr NTR has launched a scathing attack on individuals using Artificial Intelligence to create and circulate a morphed video of his song Chuttamalle from the film Devara: Part I. Expressing profound outrage, the actor described the act as "disgusting, sick and shameless," vowing to pursue every legal avenue to punish those involved.
A Direct Warning to Culprits
Taking to his X handle, the actor did not mince words while addressing the perpetrators behind the deepfake content. He made it clear that the creators of the video and those responsible for its widespread circulation would face the full force of the law.
"To the scumbags behind this morphed Chuttamalle video, I will not spare any of you. I will take every possible legal action against those who created it and those who are spreading it," Jr NTR stated in a powerful message.
Cultural Disrespect and AI Misuse
The actor highlighted the moral bankruptcy of using technology to degrade women, contrasting the act with Indian cultural values. He noted that in a nation where women are revered as mothers and goddesses under the principle of "Matrudevo Bhava," such actions represent a terrifying low point for society.
"Using AI to create something this vile is shameful beyond words," he added, emphasizing that the misuse of technology to disrespect women is a grave offense against the very fabric of their culture.
A Plea to Fans and Government
Beyond his legal threats, Jr NTR issued an urgent appeal to the public and the authorities:
- To the Fans: He urged viewers to refrain from watching, sharing, or engaging with such toxic content, warning that if this is happening to celebrities today, it could target their own family members tomorrow.
- To the Government: He called upon both state governments and the Government of India to implement stringent regulations to curb the growing menace of AI misuse.
The Growing Threat of Deepfakes
This incident is not an isolated case within the film industry. Several high-profile celebrities, including Sreeleela and Ranveer Singh, have previously voiced their concerns regarding the rising tide of deepfake and AI-generated content targeting their likenesses.
Jr NTR's recent cinematic journey includes the highly anticipated Devara: Part I, directed by Koratala Siva, where he delivered a standout performance in a double role. He was also recently seen in the Bollywood production War 2, alongside Hrithik Roshan, directed by Ayan Mukerji.
