Viral Video of Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu Fighting Is AI-Generated Fake

In this digital age, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between reality and artificial intelligence-generated content. Artificial intelligence videos are now so advanced that they look real. Recently, this technology was targeted at director SS Rajamouli and superstar Mahesh Babu, who are currently collaborating on Varanasi.

In a video currently doing the rounds on social media, Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu are seen in a physical fight. Although many viewers initially believed the footage was real, it was confirmed to be a deepfake created by artificial intelligence. Recently, similar fake videos depicting Matrix-type action blocks have appeared on the internet.

As for Varanasi, the film is one of the most awaited projects of the year and reportedly stars Priyanka Chopra as Mandakini and Prithviraj Sukumaran as the antagonist Kumbha.

Varanasi, with music by MM Keeravani, is scheduled to release in 2027.
