Aamir Khan’s Another Deepfake Goes Viral on Polling Day: Here’s the Truth.

The video featured Congress party’s logo with the text ‘Vote for Nyay, Vote for Congress’. In its investigation, the PTI Fact Check Desk found that the audio of a 10-year-old video of the actor was overlaid with a fake AI-generated audio to give an impression that Khan endorsed a political party. The digitally altered video was shared on social media with false claims. The social media posts carrying Khan’s edited video are indicated towards the guarantees given by these two parties to the citizens.

The Desk recently debunked a similar digitally altered video of Aamir Khan, which was shared on social media with the similar claim of endorsing a political party. The bad news is that once again, ‘jumle waade’ (catchphrase promises) have been made to ruin your life. But the good news is that this time, there are ‘5 Nyay’ (five justices) for your development.” Moving forward, the video featured Congress party’s logo with the text ‘Vote for Nyay, Vote for Congress’.

We then uploaded the viral video to the InVid Tool Search and received a few keyframes. Further, scanning those keyframes through Google Lens, the Desk found a Twitter post shared on April 15, which carried the same video. Below is a combination image, comparing the visuals of the two videos:
The Desk listened to this 40-second video and noticed that the actor’s statement differed from what it was in the viral video. He can be heard saying that that he will be coming again for a new season with five episodes, which will be telecasted on Sundays.

An English translation of what Khan said in the promo video, reads: “Friends I have two news for you, one is good and other is bad. The bad news is that I am coming back again to spoil your Sunday. But the good news is that I will only spoil your 5 Sundays….. only 5 Every Sunday of March”. Taking a cue from this, the Desk scanned the official website of Satyamev Jayate and found that the above-mentioned video was the promo for Season 2, Episode 1, titled ‘Fighting Rape’.

Below is a screenshot of the same:
Subsequently, the Desk concluded that a fake AI-generated audio was superimposed on an old video, to make it look like the actor endorsed a political party. In its investigation, the Desk found that a 10-year-old video was digitally altered using AI voice clone to make it look like the actor made a political endorsement. The edited video was shared on social media with a false claim.
