An image showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, actors Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Sunny Deol purportedly watching the recent film Border 2 is going viral on social media platforms.
What's the truth?: The viral image has been generated using the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and does not show a real visual. This makes the claim false.
No news reports: There were no credible news reports that talked PM Modi watching the recently released film with the actors in a screening.
Moreover, the viral image appeared flawed as the screen was on the side on which the film was being screened.
This pointed towards the possibility of the viral image being generated using AI.
What did detection tools show?: Team WebQoof passed the image through two AI detection tools namely — 'Hive Moderation' and 'WasitAI' to further verify its authenticity.
The first tool showed over 99 percent probability of the image being AI-generated.
