Actor Sonu Sood, who is known for ‘Dabangg,’ ‘Happy New Year,’ ‘Aagadu,’ and others, recently received a deep fake video of him from one of his followers on social media.
The actor took to his X on Thursday and uploaded the deep fake video to clear the air that the person featured in the video is not him. In the deep fake video call featuring Sood, the impersonator interacted with a family in need of funds for medical treatment, assuring them of financial assistance.

He wrote in the caption: “My film FATEH is inspired by real life incidents involving Deep Fake and fake loan apps. This is the latest incident where someone tried to extract money from an unsuspecting family, by chatting with them through video call pretending to be Sonu Sood. Many innocent individuals fall into this trap. I request all of you to be vigilant if you receive such calls. #fateh.”
