Jr NTR Threatens Legal Action Over Morphed Song Video

Actor Jr NTR said he would pursue legal action against people who created or circulated an alleged AI-morphed video connected to Chuttamalle, a song from his film Devara. In a statement posted on X on October 2, he urged people not to watch, share or engage with the material and called on state governments and the Government of India to adopt stricter rules addressing misuse of artificial intelligence. Jr NTR described the alleged alteration as a disrespectful use of AI and said he would take every possible legal action against those responsible for making and spreading it. His post named the song, which features him and Janhvi Kapoor, and called on social media users to avoid amplifying the content. The reports provided no confirmation that a complaint had been filed or other formal legal proceedings begun. The video’s contents and reach have not been independently established in the available information. One account characterized the altered imagery as explicit, but that description was not corroborated elsewhere.
