NTR reacts to morphed Chuttamalle video
Jr NTR has reportedly strongly condemned an AI-generated, morphed video based on the song Chuttamalle from Devara, warning of legal action against those responsible for creating and circulating it. According to a report published by, the manipulated clip depicts NTR and co-star Janhvi Kapoor in an objectionable manner. The report said the video had been circulating on social media, drawing angry reactions from viewers who demanded its removal. The controversy has renewed concerns about the use of artificial intelligence to manipulate actors’ appearances and distribute misleading or degrading content.
Legal action against creators and distributors
According to the supplied report, NTR responded on X with a warning that he would pursue every possible legal action against both the people who made the video and those spreading it. His reported response placed responsibility on distributors as well as creators, highlighting how repeated sharing can increase the reach of abusive material. However, the article did not provide details of a police complaint, a registered case or any legal proceedings already initiated. The distinction matters: NTR’s reported statement expresses an intention to take legal action, while the status of any formal complaint remains unspecified.
Call for stronger action against AI misuse
Also reported that NTR invoked “Matrudevobhava,” describing respect for mothers as part of the culture, and urged governments to respond firmly to the misuse of AI. His remarks reportedly included a call for stricter regulations against such manipulation. The incident illustrates concerns surrounding synthetic media when technology is used to portray people in situations they never participated in. For those targeted, the circulation of manipulated material can raise serious questions about dignity, consent and control over their public image.
Outrage over circulation of manipulated content
The report described widespread anger over the Chuttamalle clip, with viewers calling for it to be taken down. It also placed the controversy in the wider context of female actors being targeted through morphed images and deepfake videos.
NTR’s reported reaction has brought attention to the role of people who forward or repost such material. Sharing an objectionable clip—even while criticising it—can give it further exposure. For now, the supplied report centres on his condemnation, warning of legal action and demand for stronger measures against AI misuse. It does not establish who created the video or whether authorities have identified those involved.
