In his post, Jr NTR wrote, "Disgusting, Sick and Shameless. In a land that worships women as mothers and goddesses, where "Matrudevo Bhava" is not just a phrase but a part of our culture, some people have fallen so low that they are using AI to disrespect a woman in the most degrading way possible. Using AI to create something this vile is shameful beyond words."
He also warned of legal action. "To the scumbags behind this morphed Chuttamalle video, I will not spare any of you. I will take every possible legal action against those who created it and those who are spreading it," he wrote further.
The RRR actor also requested not to "watch, share or engage with such content."
"Today it is someone else. Tomorrow, it could be your mother, sister, wife or daughter," he added. Calling it a "serious issue", he urged all the state governments and the Government of India to "act strongly and bring in strict regulations against the misuse of AI."
