Cinema VinesIndian singer Sonu Thukral has lodged a police complaint after a clip from his new music video “Jugni,” which features actress Jacqueline Fernandez, went viral on social media. The clip allegedly shows Fernandez in a wardrobe malfunction, but Thukral claims the footage was fabricated using artificial intelligence and circulated without his permission.
Thukral, who recorded the track with B Praak, posted a photo on Instagram holding a copy of the complaint while standing beside a police officer. In the caption he wrote: “I have filed a police complaint regarding my song ‘Jugni’. The clip has also been edited using AI, and the AI‑generated version of the clip is being circulated further. I will talk about it publicly soon.” The singer has not yet received any response from Fernandez or the other parties involved in the video.
The controversy has sparked strong reactions online. One commenter urged a thorough investigation, stating: “The seriousness of Sonu Thukral’s allegations should be thoroughly investigated, and if the allegations are found to be true, the person who made the AI‑edited video should be caught as soon as possible.” Another user noted that the video was released 15 days ago and that “the truth has come to light” after Thukral’s claim that the scenes were AI‑generated.
While the debate rages, Fernandez’s recent work includes the multi‑star film “Welcome to The Jungle,” which earned ₹133.98 crore net in India and ₹192.60 crore worldwide. She is also slated to appear in an upcoming supernatural thriller produced by Khyati Madaan’s Not Out Entertainment, though the project has yet to be officially announced.
The incident highlights the growing concerns over deep‑fake technology in the entertainment industry, as artists and producers grapple with the potential for unauthorized edits to damage reputations and spread misinformation.
