With the Indian general elections around the corner, the internet is buzzing with more deepfake videos than ever before. Celebrities are becoming the unintended stars of political campaigns they’ve never signed up for. The latest to get caught in this net is none other than the Telugu superstar Allu Arjun.
A video clip that has gone viral on social media shows Allu Arjun, supposedly campaigning for the Congress party. The clip is so well-crafted with AI technology that anyone who sees it might actually believe he's genuinely supporting Congress. In the video, Allu Arjun is seen waving and smiling to the crowd from an open-top car, with his wife Sneha Reddy seemingly by his side, both created using deepfake technology.
The caption of the video reads, "Allu Arjun steps up for Congress with respect," and claims that one of India's biggest superstars is backing the party. This particular video was shared extensively, causing confusion among fans and voters alike. Originally, the video used was from Allu Arjun's trip to New York in 2022, where he celebrated India’s 75th Independence Day at the famous 'India Day Parade' with the Indian diaspora.
