Justice Arif Doctor has ruled in favor of Akshay Kumar. On Thursday, the Bombay High Court ordered the removal of the fake video. Justice Arif Doctor said, "Such content needs to be immediately removed from the public domain, not only in the interest of the actor but also in the larger public interest." The order further stated, "What is truly alarming in many of these cases is the appearance of deepfake images and videos being created using AI." Justice Doctor further added, "In the case of both images and videos, the morphing is so sophisticated and deceptive that it is almost impossible to detect that they are not real images or videos of the plaintiff (Akshay)."

Justice Doctor expressed concern

Describing the AI-generated videos as a matter of "great concern," Justice Doctor further warned, "The consequences that could arise from the spread of such content are indeed grave and serious. Besides violating and affecting the personality and moral rights of the plaintiff, such videos also pose a grave threat to the safety and well-being of the plaintiff's family members and can also have a detrimental and serious impact on society and public order, which clearly appears to be the agenda of those creating such content."

Akshay Kumar shared the post

For your information, on September 23rd, Akshay Kumar tweeted and requested the media and fans not to believe AI-generated clips. He wrote, "I recently came across some AI-generated videos of a film trailer, in which I am shown in the role of Maharishi Valmiki. I want to clarify that all such videos are fake and created using AI. Worse, some news channels are showing these as 'news' without verifying whether they are real or morphed. In today's times, when misleading content is being created at a rapid pace using manipulative AI, I truly request media houses to report information only after verifying it."
