New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan’s previous film ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ could not do well at the box office. The audience wants to see him make a comeback on the big screen with a powerful film. Currently, he is in the headlines due to his action against fake advertising. He has lodged an FIR against the fake advertisement of a political party.
The actor has lodged an FIR with Mumbai Police against a fake advertisement of Congress. The ad features a fake video of a Bollywood superstar created by Artificial Intelligence, which targets the BJP over the promise of Rs 15 lakh in the account of every citizen. This is an alleged AI-generated deep fake video, using a clip from an episode of the Aamir Khan-hosted TV show ‘Satyamev Jayate’ which was aired 10 years ago.
Aamir Khan’s image was messed with
Aamir Khan’s spokesperson has issued a statement saying that the actor has initiated legal action and has informed the authorities about the matter. The spokesperson said, ‘We want to clarify that Aamir Khan has never supported any political party in his 35-year-old career. He has devoted his efforts to raising public awareness through election commission campaigns in the last several elections. We are concerned about the recent viral video in which it is alleged that Aamir Khan is promoting a particular political party.
Strict action taken on fake video
Aamir Khan’s spokesperson further said, ‘He wants to clarify that this is a fake video and is completely false. He has reported the matter to various authorities related to this issue including filing an FIR in the Cyber Crime Cell of Mumbai Police. Khan would like to urge all Indians to come out and vote and be an active part of our electoral process.
