Javed Akhtar Denounces AI-Generated Deepfake Video

Javed Akhtar, a famous writer and lyricist, found out that someone made a fake video of him using AI.

In the video, his face is used to show him wearing a skullcap and saying he has 'turned to God.'

Javed Akhtar was very upset about this and called the video 'rubbish.'

He wrote a long post on social media to tell everyone that the video is not real and that it is hurting his good name.

He plans to go to the cyber police to find out who made the fake video and take action against them.

This issue came up after a recent public debate he had about whether God exists, which got a lot of attention online.

Some people liked the debate, while others had different opinions.

Javed Akhtar is known for his secular views and has two famous children, Farhan and Zoya Akhtar.
