Hyderabad: Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda has extended his support to Jr NTR’s call for strict laws against the misuse of artificial intelligence (AI), after a morphed video involving the song ‘Chuttamalle’ from Jr NTR’s film Devara was circulated on social media.

Vijay Deverakonda strongly condemned those responsible for creating and spreading the alleged morphed video and called for strict legal action against them.
