Indian actress Rashmika Mandanna has spoken out against using artificial intelligence to morph and generate fake and explicit images of film personalities.

Taking to X account on Wednesday, the actress called for accountability and responsibility in the handling of "AI-generated content." In her post, Rashmika spoke about the need for awareness and ethical usage, describing the situation as a "moral decline" that must be confronted.

She also added that the internet has become a space where fabricated visuals can easily be passed off as real. "When truth can be manufactured, discernment becomes our greatest defence," she wrote.

She further stated, "AI is a force for progress, but its misuse to create vulgarity and target women signals a deep moral decline in certain people. Remember, the internet is no longer a mirror of truth. It is a canvas where anything can be fabricated. Let us rise above misuse and use AI to build a more dignified and progressive society. Choose responsibility over recklessness. If people cannot act like humans, then strict & unforgiving punishment must be served to them."

Mandanna is gearing up for the release of Cocktail 2, the sequel to the 2012 hit film Cocktail.

Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 continues the story of the original, which starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty. Cocktail was hailed for its modern take on love and friendship.
