A viral photo claiming to show actors Mrunal Thakur and Dhanush at a wedding altar has been widely shared on social media, triggering speculation about a secret marriage in Chennai. However, the image has now been confirmed as fake and created using artificial intelligence.
The AI-generated photo depicts Mrunal in a maroon kanjeevaram silk saree and Dhanush in traditional South Indian attire, surrounded by several well-known film personalities. While the image appeared convincing, sources close to the actors have firmly denied any wedding plans, calling the claims baseless.
Rumours linking the two actors began last year after public appearances at film events, but insiders point out that Mrunal Thakur is currently focused on back-to-back film releases, making the marriage speculation implausible. The incident highlights a growing trend of AI-generated celebrity images being used to spread misinformation online.
