This incident comes in the wake of a deep fake video involving actress Rashmika Mandanna from 'Pushpa: The Rise.' The video, featuring a woman in black entering a lift with a face morphed to resemble Rashmika, raised concerns in the Indian entertainment industry.

The primary suspect linked to the deepfake video of Rashmika Mandanna was apprehended by the Delhi Police in Andhra Pradesh over the weekend. The video had manipulated the face of British-Indian influencer Zara Patel, dressed in black workout attire, to resemble the Bollywood actor.
