Actor Anna Rajan recently took to social media to flag the circulation of her morphed images online. The actress shared a screenshot of one of her AI-generated pictures shared by an Instagram page on Tuesday, and called them out for violating her privacy and threatened legal action. The actor, who will soon be seen in Jailer 2, also urged the Kerala police to help her.
Anna took to Instagram and shared a screenshot of a picture of herself posted by another Instagram user and stated that the photo had been morphed. She wrote, "This image has been maliciously edited and posted in an obscene and defamatory manner to damage my reputation. This is shameful, unacceptable, and a serious violation of my privacy and dignity."
She further added that she will be reporting the account to Instagram and also filing a police report. She wrote, "1 am officially reporting this account to Instagram and will be filing a police complaint under the applicable laws. Whoever is responsible for creating or sharing this edited content will be held accountable. Legal action will be taken, and I will pursue this matter until justice is served."
Anna concluded by saying, "Please do not support or share such abusive content." She tagged the police in the caption of her post, "This account has posted a maliciously edited and defamatory image of me. I request keralapoliceofficial and kerala_police cyberdomekerala to take immediate action. I have preserved the evidence and will be filing an official police complaint."
Notably, this is not the first time Anna has fallen prey to such things. In March 2026, Anna was forced to apologise after facing backlash over her images from the Attukal Pongala festival in Thiruvananthapuram. The actress issued an apology despite photographers and videographers photographing her at inappropriate angles at a temple.
She said, "In between this sacred moment, some unwanted videos and clips were captured and shared. I trusted and respected everyone around me, including the media. It truly hurt me to see certain moments highlighted in a way that took away from the devotion of that day. If my saree, my expressions, or anything about me unintentionally hurt the sentiments of any devotee, I sincerely seek forgiveness."
Anna made her debut in 2017 with the Malayalam film Angamaly Diaries. Since then, she has acted in films such as Lonappante Mamodeesa, Ayyappanum Koshiyum and Kudumba Sthreeyum Kunjadum. She was last seen in the 2025 film Daveed, and is set to debut in Tamil with Nelson Dilipkumar's Jailer 2, starring Rajinikanth and Ramya Krishnan in lead roles.
