Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher has issued a warning to his followers about a fake video circulating on social media under his name. Taking to his official X account, Kher shared the misleading video and called on cybercrime officials to take action against the perpetrator.

In his tweet, Anupam Kher revealed that a person named Rehan Malik had used his video to create a fake clip, which was then posted on Malik’s Telegram channel, reportedly linked to an online betting platform. The doctored video falsely shows Kher endorsing a betting site.

Kher posted the video with a warning: “Watch out! A friend sent me this video! Someone named Rehan Malik created a fake video of me and shared it on his Telegram channel as ‘Rehan Malik – Honest Tipper!’ It’s about a betting site. Please be careful not to fall for it! Thanks.”

In the first half of the 20th century, futuristic fiction often focused on shining cities with amazing spires and flying cars but, in this uncertain and faithless age, the utopian dream has faded away.

Instead we have dystopian nightmares of armageddon and, often, a scorched earth dominated by disease, aliens, machines, vampires, zombies or other horrors.

Tapping into this trope of man's fight for survival in a razed world is the upcoming British indie thriller Island, directed by London-born filmmaker Rehan Malik and co-written by Malik and Leon Hady.

Billed as a modern-day Lord of the Flies, it is set during a nuclear disaster. A group of students are trapped in a school and while some desire to build a new society, others attempt to subvert the situation for their own purposes.
