Weeks After Deepfake Video, Rashmika Mandanna's Bold Scene With Ranbir In 'Animal' Leaked Online

As Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna's 'Animal' is off to a flying start at the box office, a few bold scenes involving the lead actors have now gone viral on social media sites.

A clip from one particular scene shows Rashmika taking off her top in front of Ranbir and this clip is being widely shared by netizens on social media sites. There are also people posting the intimate moments between Ranbir and Rashmika from the Hindi flick.

It may be recalled that a deepfake video of Rashmika Mandanna had hit the internet a few weeks ago, raising concern about the misuse of artificial intelligence technology.

These clips come weeks after Rashmika's deepfake video went viral. "I feel really hurt to share this and have to talk about the deepfake video of me being spread online. Something like this is honestly, extremely scary not only for me, but also for each one of us who today is vulnerable to so much harm because of how technology is being misused," Mandanna had said in a post on X.

However, she had thanked her family, friends and well-wishers for protecting and supporting her. She said, "Today, as a woman and as an actor, I am thankful for my family, friends and well wishers who are my protection and support system. But if this happened to me when I was in school or college, I genuinely can't imagine how could I ever tackle this. We need to address this as a community and with urgency before more of us are affected by such identity theft,"

Meanwhile, 'Animal' has got a gigantic opening at the India box office. On the first day, Ranbir's flick collected Rs 54.75 crore (nett) at the domestic box office.

Despite clashing with Vicky Kaushal's 'Sam Bahadur', Ranbir and Rashmika's movie has done exceptionally well on day one.
