Earlier this month, a deepfake video, seemingly featuring Rashmika Mandanna had gone viral on social media. The video was of a British-Indian influencer in reality. Mandanna's face was superimposed on the woman's body.

Mandanna had spoken about her deepfake video that had gone viral. She wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "I feel really hurt to share this and have to talk about the deepfake video of me being spread online. Something like this is honestly, extremely scary not only for me, but also for each one of us who today is vulnerable to so much harm because of how technology is being misused." Reacting to another tweet about the same video, Amitabh Bachchan had said, “Yes, this is a strong case for legal.”

The actor had continued, "Today, as a woman and as an actor, I am thankful for my family, friends and well-wishers who are my protection and support system. But if this happened to me when I was in school or college, I genuinely can’t imagine how could I ever tackle this. We need to address this as a community and with urgency before more of us are affected by such identity theft." Rashmika tagged the official X accounts of Cyberabad Police and Maharashtra Cyber, nodal agency for cyber security and cybercrime investigation for Maharashtra, in her tweet. Several celebrities including Amitabh Bachchan and Naga Chaitanya had spokenout in support of Rashmika.
