A deepfake video of Virat Kohli promoting a betting application that guarantees high returns from minor investments has gone viral.
To offer additional authenticity to the video, the cyber fraudsters have included a manipulated footage of a famous TV journalist, creating an illusion that the ad was aired during a live news segment. By projecting that Kohli made significant profit through the app, the ad seeks to entice viewers with the promise of easy money.
Virat is seen endorsing the app in Hindi in one of the deepfake videos, while in another he is seen speaking in English with an intermittent American accent.
