Soon after a poster featuring Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan as Guru Nanak started going viral on social media on Monday, a spokesman for the actor dismissed it as being "completely fake and AI generated".
The poster shows Khan "in and as" 'Guru Nanak' with a teaser trailer set to arrive soon.
In a statement, the spokesperson for the actor asked fans to be wary of fake news on social media.
"The poster showing Aamir Khan as Guru Nanak is completely fake and AI generated. Aamir Khan has no connection to any such project. He holds the highest respect for Guru Nanak and would never be part of anything disrespectful. Please don't fall for fake news," the spokesperson said in the statement.
Last year, a fake video of Aamir talking about steering clear of "jumla" (false promises) ahead of Lok Sabha elections went viral on social media.
