Mumbai: A deepfake video of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar went viral on social media, seemingly promoting a gaming app.

In the manipulated video, Sachin's voice is edited to suggest, 'My daughter is playing the game Skyword Aviator Quest and earning a daily income of 180,000 Indian Rupees.'

Sachin expressed surprise at how easy it became to earn money, emphasizing that the application is entirely free and can be easily downloaded by any iPhone user. After the video went viral, Sachin Tendulkar issued a statement on Twitter categorically labeling it as fake.

He wrote, “These videos are fake, and the misuse of technology in spreading misinformation is concerning. I request my fans to report such videos, ads, and apps in large numbers. Social media platforms need to respond promptly to alerts and complaints to curb the spread of false information and deepfakes,”.
