I am deeply disturbed by the use of AI to create degrading and morphed videos of a woman. Such acts are cruel, shameful and completely unacceptable. I strongly condemn them.
This is not an issue concerning just one individual or one film. Today, it has happened to someone else. Tomorrow, it could happen to you, me or anyone we know. We cannot remain silent simply because it has not affected us personally. Every one of us has a responsibility to stand against this abuse.
Those who create such content and those who deliberately spread or amplify it must be held accountable under the law. This cannot be dismissed as a joke or treated as entertainment.
I will take this matter up with the Telugu Film Chamber, the Producers’ Council and our affiliated industry bodies, and recommend the formation of a dedicated committee and support cell. Working closely with Cyber Crime authorities, this team should support those affected, coordinate efforts to remove such content and pursue legal action against those responsible.
The entire Telugu film fraternity must come together for this effort. Our associations, artists, technicians, audiences and fans all have a role to play. I also urge the Central and State Governments to take strong and effective measures against the misuse of AI for such abuse.
Please do not watch, download, share or circulate these videos, even with the intention of condemning them. Report them to the respective platforms and Cyber Crime authorities instead.
Protecting human dignity is our collective responsibility. Let us stand together, speak up and act.

As a human being, I believe Janhvi’s dignity matters more than any hero’s image or fan war
Sadly, it feels like NTR fans and his PR team aren’t showing the same concern for her dignity
Wouldn’t be surprised if that hero’s PR guy.. y*** was behind this entire fiasco… man seems to have a weird obsession with pushing fans into controversial.. stupid antics..saw similar things during War 2 as well…
But this time..it went beyond a tipping point..literally using an actress ai video to shift narrative away from the recent AI trolls?? And it spread across the fanbases beyond his control? that hero has to step in to stop the wildfire?
Disgusting..irrespective of fanbases everyone who viewed..asked..shared the video is almost a rapist in making..given the law permits them.
