Keralite You Tuber who created deepfake AI video of Godfather says he wont make anymore videos

KOCHI July 5: The Kerala You Tuber who created the Godfather video has said that he would not make such videos anymore as he is scared. Kerala-based quantitative developer Tom Antony has created a video of Godfather movie edited with artificial intelligence featuring Mammootty, Mohanlal and Fahadh Faasil. The video went viral on social media.


In Tom’s AI deepfake video, , Mohanlal appears as Michael Corleone, Mammootty as Moe Greene, and Fahadh Faasil as Fredo Corleone — all unforgettable characters from Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather.

He later uploaded another video that re-imagines Mohanlal as Don Vito Corleone, who was originally portrayed by Hollywood legend Marlon Brando.

He has also posted a handful of such videos on his Instagram handles, featuring actors such as Shobana, Tovino Thomas, and even Shahrukh Khan in various film sequences.

‘I am the person who made the Godfather video that is now going viral on social media, and I am not proud of it. I had not expected it to go viral to this extent. My objective merely was to let people know that there is such a technology, and that everyone should be careful,’ said Tom Antony in a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Vavval Manusyan’ (bat man).
