NM VERIFIED
NewsMobile investigated the viral video and found it to be AI-generated and digitally manipulated.
A reverse image search of multiple keyframes from the video, along with relevant keyword searches, found no credible evidence to support the claim. NewsMobile could not find any verified video, official social media post or credible media report showing Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt together in the manner depicted in the viral clip.
Neither Salman Khan nor Sanjay Dutt has shared any such video on their verified social media accounts.
A frame-by-frame analysis of the footage also revealed several tell-tale signs of AI manipulation, including unnatural facial features, inaccurate lip-sync, distorted body movements, inconsistent body proportions, and irregular lighting and shadows. The background appears unusually smooth and lacks the depth and texture typically seen in genuine footage.
To further verify the claim, NewsMobile analysed the video using Hive Moderation, an AI detection tool. The tool flagged the footage as AI-generated with a high probability score, providing additional evidence that the viral video is digitally fabricated.
In conclusion, the viral video claiming to show Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt addressing their fans together is AI-generated and digitally manipulated.
