  • AI‑generated video of Kerala CM dancing with KSEB officials amassed 1.78 crore (≈17.8 M) views within four days.
  • Meta blocked the video in India after a government notice, but it remains accessible abroad.
  • The CM publicly praised the clip, while the platform previously removed other state‑critical videos, sparking a regulatory dispute.

Satheesan later referenced the video in a public forum, joking he could out‑dance actors Mohanlal and C. Joseph Vijay. On September 14, Meta announced it had restricted the video in India after receiving a notice from the Indian government. The page’s operator, identified only as Abhijith, said the restriction was not requested by the chief minister and that the video remains viewable from abroad. Meta had previously removed other news videos critical of the state government, which the CM’s office subsequently asked to be reinstated.

The episode highlights growing tensions between Indian regulators and global platforms over AI‑generated political content, raising questions about how quickly such material can be censored under existing legal frameworks.

Meta restricts access to viral AI video of Keralam CM dancing over power cuts

bing.com · 14 September 2026

Meta has restricted access in India to a viral AI-generated video showing KeralamChief MinisterV.D. Satheesan dancing with KSEB officials related to the recent power cut issue, its creators said on Monday (September 14, 2026).

The video, which was posted on the Instagram page 'aikavala' on Thursday (September 10), had garnered 1.78 crore views by Sunday (September 14), the page's operator said.

Mr. Satheesan had recently mentioned the video at an event organised by the Kerala High Court, saying he was excited to see it.

He claimed he could dance better than Malayalam actor Mohanlal and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay.

The video shows Mr. Satheesan dancing with Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) officials and was created using artificial intelligence, according to the page.

In a post on Sunday (September 14), 'aikavala' said access to the video had been restricted in India after Meta complied with a legal request.

"We have restricted access to your content in India pursuant to notice from the Government of India," a message from Meta shared by the creators said.

Mr. Abhijith, who runs the Instagram page, told the media that he did not believe the restriction was due to any objection from the Chief Minister's side.

"We don't know the reason. But the Chief Minister had appreciated it in a public forum. The video can be viewed from other countries," he said.

Earlier, Meta had removed news videos critical of the State government and Mr. Satheesan.

Mr. Satheesan then denied any request for removing the posts made from his office.

The Chief Minister's Office had subsequently written to Meta seeking their reinstatement.

Meta had then cited technical reasons for the removal of those videos.
