Evidence

• On reviewing the viral video, we noticed the word “Spoof” appears at the bottom right throughout. Spoof indicates a humorous or satirical imitation of the original content.

• Keyframes from the viral clip led to the original video on Prime Video India’s YouTube channel, uploaded on November 1, 2023. This 1-minute 40-second video features Bajpayee promoting Hindi films and web series available on Prime Video.

• On comparing the two clips, we could conclude that viral footage was manipulated 

•  Manoj Bajpayee publicly addressed the matter on his X account, stating:
  
  “I would like to publicly state that I have no association or allegiance with any political party. The video being circulated is a fake, patched-up edit of an ad I did for @PrimeVideoIn. I sincerely appeal to everyone sharing it to stop spreading such distorted content and urge people not to engage with or encourage such misleading content.”
