Artificial intelligence is everywhere these days, making cool things. But it also creates some confusion, and Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar just got a taste of that. He’s been riding high on his latest film’s success, but a fake video online caught his attention.
This particular video, completely generated by AI, showed him playing the role of Maharishi Valmiki in a film trailer. The internet, as it often does, started buzzing. Some people thought this was real news, a new project for the actor.
Akshay Kumar quickly stepped in to clear things up. He issued a strong statement, making sure everyone knew the video was a complete sham. He expressed his real worry about how easily these manipulated videos spread. He wants people to be careful about what they see.
Akshay Speaks Out on Fake Videos
Akshay shared his thoughts on his official X (formerly Twitter) account. He mentioned seeing several AI-generated trailers. These videos wrongly showed him as Maharishi Valmiki. He made it clear these were all fake. They were purely products of artificial intelligence.
He didn’t just stop there. He also called out some news outlets. He felt they reported these videos as true stories. They didn’t even bother to check if the content was real or made up. This lack of verification bothered him a lot.
I have recently come across some AI-generated videos of a film trailer showing me in the role of Maharishi Valmiki. I want to clarify that all such videos are fake and created using AI. What’s worse, some news channels decide to pick these up as ‘news’ without even verifying if…

A Call for Responsibility
The actor asked everyone to be more responsible. This plea was for both the public and the media. He explained that AI can now create misleading content very fast. It’s a tricky time for information.
He specifically asked media companies to double-check their facts. They should verify details before sharing any news. For months, these AI-made trailers had spread false information. They even claimed other actors like Pankaj Tripathi and Paresh Rawal were in the fake film.
Meanwhile, Real Success for ‘Jolly LLB 3’
While dealing with digital fakes, Akshay Kumar has real success to celebrate. His latest movie, ‘Jolly LLB 3’, is a big hit. Audiences are truly enjoying it. The film is doing great at the box office.
Subhash Kapoor directed ‘Jolly LLB 3’. Akshay shares the screen with Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla. The movie is a clear reminder of the real work and talent of the actors, far from any AI trickery.
