The makers of Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film King have reportedly tightened security after an AI-generated video by a fan went viral. King is scheduled to release this year.
One of the highly anticipated Bollywood films of this year, King, starring Shah Rukh Khan, has found itself at the centre of an AI leak crisis months before its release in cinemas. An unidentified individual, claiming to be a fan of Shah Rukh Khan, used leaked clips to generate an AI version. The report suggests that the makers of the film have tightened security on the film's current schedule.
Security tightened after leaks from set of King
The team of King was allegedly upset with the stills from the climax shoot and sequences from Cape Town scheduled to be leaked online, as per the report of Mid-Day. The same report suggests that though SRK shoots in public, it is impossible to trace the source of the leak. But the AI edit crossed a line because it attempted to recreate the narrative of the film.
It further stated that the concern was not limited to footage being circulated online but also to the way the AI-generated video tried to stitch together available material into what it presented as a version of the film's story. “This set in Mumbai is a busy area, so removing phone access won’t help much. But movement in the action portions and crucial scenes has become extremely restricted," it said.
