After Sachin Tendulkar and other celebrities, Virat Kohli has become the latest to fall victim to deepfakes. The Indian cricket star features in several advertisements for top brands and scammers seemed to have used this to deceive people with a morphed video of him, where he is promoting a betting app, going viral online. In the edited video, Kohli's voice was manipulated to show him talking about earning easy money with the help of the betting app. Earlier, Tendulkar had flagged a deepfake video of him promoting a similar betting application while calling for social media platforms to be alert to complaints. Sachin Tendulkar Deepfake Video: Master Blaster Flags Fake Advertisement of Him Promoting Gaming App, Writes ‘Disturbing To See Rampant Misuse of Technology’.
