Summary
- Mrunal Thakur warns against unauthorized AI-generated deepfakes.
- She stated legal action will follow any misuse of her likeness.
- Several Bollywood actors have sought legal protection for their image.
Actress Mrunal Thakur issued a strong warning on Tuesday, asserting that unauthorized use of her likeness through AI-generated deepfake content will not be tolerated. She formally notified those responsible to cease such activities immediately, stating that any further misuse of her identity will lead to legal consequences.
This public declaration by Thakur addresses the escalating concerns within the entertainment industry regarding AI and the misuse of personal identity. Numerous prominent actors, including Akshay Kumar, Varun Dhawan, and Rashmika Mandanna, have previously sought legal protection against the creation and dissemination of unauthorized AI-generated content.
Rashmika Mandanna had previously highlighted the dangers of AI-generated vulgarity and misinformation targeting women, emphasizing the need for discernment.

On the professional front, Mrunal Thakur is slated to appear in the upcoming action drama 'Raaka,' directed by Atlee Kumar, which also features Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone. The film is reportedly targeting a December 2027 release, though official confirmation is pending.
