A hyper-realistic AI-generated video featuring some of the world’s most famous business leaders and celebrities at the Mahakumbh has taken the internet by storm. The video, which looks extremely real, has amazed viewers with its high level of detail. It shows Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, and Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani participating in the grand Indian religious gathering. This unexpected combination of international figures at Mahakumbh has sparked curiosity and discussions online.
The viral video, shared widely on social media, has left people wondering how realistic AI technology has become. The clip even includes famous YouTube star MrBeast pulling a cart, Mukesh Ambani appearing at a Jio stall, and Elon Musk wearing a traditional Indian kurta. The video also shows rapper Badshah joining the celebrations, making the scene even more surprising.
AI’s impact on viral content
In the past, AI-generated videos have been used for entertainment and fun, but this clip has taken things to another level. It shows famous people in a place where they are not actually present, making many viewers question what is real and what is not. The attention to detail in the video has been praised by many, while others have raised concerns about its ethical implications.
Another AI-generated video that went viral recently showed football legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi taking a holy dip in the sacred Sangam. The Sangam is the place where the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers meet in Prayagraj. Along with them, world leaders such as Donald Trump, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and Russian President Vladimir Putin were also shown in the AI-created footage. Hollywood actors like Will Smith, Zendaya, and Tom Holland appeared in the scene as well.

This AI-generated content, posted by the Instagram page ‘Artificial Budhi,’ quickly gained 5.7 million views within a few days. The video’s ultra-realistic visuals impressed many social media users, with one person joking that the editor deserved an Oscar. Another user called it a “masterpiece,” highlighting how well the video was made. However, not everyone was amused. Some people have expressed concerns about how easily AI can create fake but realistic-looking content.
The Mahakumbh Mela, which is considered the world’s largest religious festival, began in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, on January 13. This 45-day event attracts millions of pilgrims and devotees every year. Many Indian celebrities and politicians are expected to attend, but international figures are rarely seen at the event. One exception this year was Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who recently visited and performed rituals at the festival.
While AI-generated videos like these are entertaining, they also raise questions about misinformation. As technology advances, people may find it harder to tell the difference between real and AI-created content. Experts have warned that AI-generated videos can be used for misleading purposes, making it important to verify content before believing what we see online.
