Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh has found himself embroiled in a disturbing trend as he became the latest victim of deepfake technology. A recent viral video purportedly showed Singh endorsing a political party, raising concerns about the manipulation of digital content using artificial intelligence. The deepfake video, which circulated widely online, utilized genuine footage from Singh’s visit to Varanasi but replaced his voice with an AI-generated replica. This deceptive technique has become increasingly prevalent, allowing individuals to create convincing yet fabricated videos that can misrepresent public figures and spread misinformation.

In response to this incident, the Maharashtra police’s cyber cell has taken action by registering an FIR against an individual identified as @sujataindia1st for allegedly uploading the deepfake video. The complaint was lodged by Singh’s father, Jagjit Singh Bhavnani, who expressed concern over the potential damage to his son’s reputation.

According to PTI, as per the FIR, Ranveer Singh in his speech said, “It is Modi ji’s purpose and goal to celebrate our rich culture, heritage, history, and legacy because we are moving ahead towards modernity very fast but we should never forget our roots, our cultural heritage.”

However, X (formerly Twitter) account holder @sujataindia1st made a deepfake video in which the actor is heard saying it is “Modi ji’s purpose and goal to celebrate our painful life, fear, and unemployment because we are moving ahead towards injustice but we should never stop asking for our development and justice, vote for justice, vote for Congress,” as per the FIR.

According to reports, the FIR was filed under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 417 (cheating), 468 (forgery for the purpose of cheating), and 469 (forgery for the purpose of harming reputation), as well as provisions of the Information Technology Act.

The controversy surrounding Ranveer Singh’s deepfake video comes on the heels of a similar incident involving another Bollywood superstar, Aamir Khan. The city police had recently registered an FIR against an unidentified person for circulating a deepfake video purportedly showing Khan endorsing a political party.

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up to play a gritty don in his upcoming film, King, which promises to be a raw and rustic action-thriller. With this film, his daughter Suhana Khan will make her silver screen debut after OTT debut in The Archies last December. Khan won’t just be a powerful underworld figure; he’ll also have a complex moral compass, with “shades of grey” that will intrigue audiences.

According to a report in Pinkvilla, a source revealed that Khan will play an intriguing role, which is a clear nod to his past characters with darker sides, like his iconic roles in Darr, Anjaam, and Raees. “Shah Rukh Khan is making films for the audience and is well aware of their urge to see him in shades of grey. King is his passion project and he has been meticulously working on all aspects of the project with Siddharth Anand and Sujoy Ghosh. They have collectively carved a very cool, full of attitude and swag character with shades of grey for SRK in King,” said the source.

King is reportedly a passion project for Khan, and he’s been heavily involved in its development. He’s working closely with directors Siddharth Anand and Sujoy Ghosh to craft a character that’s both cool and ruthless.  The source revealed, “While the character designing is already done, Siddharth Anand is presently working on the action blocks with international stunt teams. Sujoy, on the other hand, is getting the dialogue draft ready, whereas SRK is overseeing the creative process and training with Suhana on some new-age action sequences.”

But the surprises don’t stop there. The source also hinted at a new look for Khan in the film. He’ll be sporting long hair and a beard, a departure from his usual clean-cut persona. While details about the plot are still under wraps, the report does say that King will be a fast-paced action thriller that tests the limits of survival. SRK will play the mentor, guiding a disciple through a dangerous world.  This disciple will be played by none other than Suhana Khan.

Over a week ago, Bollywood Hungama reported that Shah Rukh Khan himself is overseeing the creative process and even training with Suhana for some of the film’s action sequences. Sujoy Ghosh and Siddharth Anand are planning to make a raw and rustic action film, King, on a mega budget of Rs. 200 crores. “King is an ambitious action film, unlike anyone’s imagination. The team has been working on the pre-production for the last one year to ensure that all aspects are covered in the right way – from script, to scale and action. Red Chillies Entertainment has always mounted world-class products and King will be no different as the banner is going all out to ensure a grand debut for Suhana Khan,” a source told Bollywood Hungama.

The source further informed that Siddharth Anand is in talks with stunt directors from the West to come on board King. “Siddharth Anand thinks internationally, and with SRK, he wants to make a global action thriller. He is designing stunts with the stunt experts from the West, and plans to shoot it as a hybrid of real action and VFX enhancements,” the source told us further.

King will be shot from May over 5 months and hit the big screen in the 2nd half of 2025.

The recreated version of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’s (1988) song ‘Papa Kehte Hai’ was launched at a lovely event in an auditorium in Mumbai on Monday, April 22. Aamir Khan, who featured in the original version and Udit Narayan, who sung both the versions, graced their presence along with Srikanth’s team members, that is, actors Rajkummar Rao, Alaya F and Sharad Kelkar, director Tushar Hiranandani, producer Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani and Srikanth Bolla, on whom the film is based on. The event began with talented visually impaired people performing on ‘Papa Kehte Hai’ and also the other famous song of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, ‘Aye Mere Humsafar’.

At the event, Aamir Khan and Udit Narayan went down memory lane. Aamir revealed, “It’s the song that started my career. Certainly, it’s very special. All of us were very new in the film and Nasir saab (Nasir Hussain) supported us. It was also the first film of director Mansoor Khan and cinematographer Kiran Deohans. Anand-Milind, Juhi, Udit ji, Alka ji apna career bas shuru hi kar rahe the. Even the sound recordist and editor debuted with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. Hence, it was a very exciting journey.”

He added, “Then, we had no idea whether or not we’d be successful. Whenever Mansoor and I used to watch the film, humko khamiyaan nazar aati thi! So, we used to keep discussing it that ‘Yaar, woh scene aisa hona chahiye tha’ or ‘isme yeh reh gaya’!”

Aamir Khan then stated, “Ek din woh film release ho gayi aur hamare haath se nikal gayi (smiles). And it was very exciting to see the kind of love it got. I’d like to believe that Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak was a milestone in Indian cinema. It changed the whole sensibility of Indian cinema. From 1988, you can see the shift happening. Mansoor was the first director to bring that change. Hence, it’s a very special film for me in every way.”

Udit Narayan, in his trademark style, exulted, “Main 36 saal purani yaadon mein chala gaya. I can’t believe that after 36 years, this song continues to hold a place in your hearts!”

He continued, “I still remember when I had gone to record the song. Aamir saab was sitting in front of me. I was told, ‘Iss hero ke liye aapko gaana hai’. Main dara hua tha. I asked myself, ‘What if I don’t sing it well?’. Mera boriya bistar bhi ready tha gaav jaane ke liye!”

Aamir Khan, at this point, raised laughs, “Aur mujh dekh ke toh khaas unko darr hua ki ‘Accha, yeh hero hai’. Fir toh confirm hai mera waapis jaana!”

Udit Narayan continued, “But thanks to God and all your blessings, the song became a rage!”

Srikanth releases in cinemas on May 10.

The event began with talented visually impaired people performing on ‘Papa Kehte Hai’ and also the other famous song of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, ‘Aye Mere Humsafar’.

Aamir Khan on stage spoke highly of the Rajkummar Rao-starrer, “When I saw Srikanth’s trailer, I was left amazed. I immediately connected with the character of Srikanth. I want to experience his journey. Hence, I am also keenly waiting for its release on May 10. It seems like a very inspiring film. Rajkummar Rao has given a wonderful performance. From the trailer, it’s clear that he has got into the skin of the character. He has lived the role of Srikanth.”

At this point, Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani added, “This song will always be of Aamir sir and Udit sir. We are just passing it on to the next generation!”

Aamir Khan also remembered Gulshan Kumar, father of Bhushan Kumar, who’s also one of the producers of Srikanth, “Bhushan ne sach mein papa ka naam roshan kiya hai. He took over the business at a very young age after Gulshan ji sadly passed away. As a son, he has really taken the business forward and also the music industry forward. He has grown it and given so many opportunities to several young musicians. That is really amazing. Hence, we should clap for Bhushan as well.”

Rajkummar Rao revealed how life has come full circle for him, “After passing Class 12, I used to study theatre. I used to travel on a bicycle 70 km from Gurgaon to Delhi and back. This is when I used to listen to some songs on my Walkman. The one song that used to hit me a lot was ‘Papa Kehte Hai’ (smiles). I used to hear the song to motivate myself ki mujhe bhi bada naam karna hai. And now to have that song picturized on me in Srikanth is a surreal feeling.”

He continued, “We all have taken a lot of inspiration from Aamir sir. It’s his badappan that he’s here to launch the song. He’s somebody who promotes good content. Thank you sir for teaching us everything!”

Amitabh Bachchan has made a significant investment in real estate by purchasing a 10,000 square foot plot of land in Alibaug, Maharashtra, near Mumbai. This acquisition took place in the A Alibaug project, a sprawling 20-acre plotted development launched in April last year. The transaction, reportedly valued at Rs. 10 crore, was completed with The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) and as per sources, it was officially registered just last week.

Although there has been no official statement issued from The House of Abhinadan Lodha or from Amitabh Bachchan, sources have reportedly confirmed the details to the media. This is not the first time where Amitabh has been investing with the builders. In the past, the legendary actor also made a similar investment with the HoABL brand in their ‘The Sarayu’ project in Ayodhya. Big B is expected to have made a sizeable investment in this luxurious seven-star project which is currently under development in the picturesque city of Lord Ram.

As for Alibaug, the beachy town is known for its scenic beauty and proximity to Mumbai and has become a sought-after destination for both vacation homes and real estate investments. It seems to have caught the attention of many other celebrities including Shah Rukh Khan, who also purchased a massive piece of farm-land worth Rs. 9.5 crores along with his daughter Suhana Khan in February 2024.

On the other hand, Amitabh Bachchan too boasts of extensive investments within the city limits of Mumbai which includes three major bungalows in the plush area of suburban Mumbai – namely Pratiksha and Jalsa, wherein the former was reportedly gifted to Shweta Bachchan recently, and along with them, he also has Janak which is said to be used more as an office. Apart from them, the superstar is also expected to hold quite a bit of properties in Delhi and a few other locations.
