Dhanush Slams Sonam Kapoor: Dhanush, who delivered a stellar performance in the romantic drama Raanjhanaa released in 2013. Has expressed strong discontent over the re-release of the film with an AI-altered ending. Controversy has erupted with the new version in the film industry, particularly after Dhanush’s emotional proclamation that the film ended up without completely removing its very “soul.”
Dhanush poured out his heart with these words:
“Raanjhanaa re-released with an AI-altered climax is pervasively disturbing. It is not the movie I signed up for 12 years back. The concerned parties went ahead, despite me having clearly objected to it.”
His words do not only indicate personal discomfort, but also a more significant fear of how the unbridled misuse of AI would interfere with authentic artistic intent. For an actor who has stood by the film for more than a decade, such a change without consent is a betrayal.
Dhanush examined the aim of future movies, and the real implication of his statement was that he was calling to attention a very serious precedent, with regard to art and artists, brought to bear by the exponentially growing algorithms of AI. Moreover, it this practice puts the very promise of storytelling in jeopardy and might affect the legacy of these movies, which generations have grown with.
He called for sterner laws to ensure that AI does not interfere at all in altering the original works of cinema without their respective artists consenting to such actions.
In fact, the leading lady of the film, Sonam Kapoor, is yet to respond to all these developments. Fans are keen on knowing what her side in this situation is, especially when one considers the emotionally charged legacy of the film and her significant role in it.
