Kay Kay Menon Denounces Unauthorized Use of His Image in Congress’s Campaign Video

The actor Kay Kay Menon has voiced his disapproval regarding the inclusion of his likeness in a video created by the Congress party for their ‘Vote Theft’ campaign. The video, distributed on the party’s official social media platforms, featured Menon, recognized for his portrayal of Himmat Singh in the Special Ops web series, seemingly endorsing the campaign. Menon has issued a statement denying any participation in the campaign and asserting that his image was utilized without his authorization. In a direct comment on the video, Menon clarified that he did not work on the advertisement and that a promotional clip from his Special Ops series was edited and used inappropriately. The Congress’s video employed a clip of Menon, who was encouraging viewers to engage with the content, followed by another individual promoting involvement in the anti-vote theft campaign. The campaign video also incorporated a theme song from Special Ops 2. Following Menon’s statement, viewers have responded, with some recognizing the manipulated nature of the video, while others initially believed Menon was involved in the Congress campaign. The original video was a promotional clip released three weeks prior, promoting the Special Ops series on Hotstar’s Instagram page.
