Filmmakers are facing a new challenge with technology. A recent incident has stirred things up in the industry. Director Anand L. Rai was quite upset. His film ‘Raanjhanaa’ saw a big change.
The Tamil version of his film had its climax altered. A production house used artificial intelligence, or AI, to make this change. This move has sparked a wider conversation. Now, actor Farhan Akhtar has spoken out. He clearly supports the original creators. Farhan shared his thoughts at the teaser launch for his upcoming film, ‘120 Bahadure’.
Farhan Akhtar Stands for Creators
Farhan Akhtar made his position very clear. He stated he will always stand by the film’s creator. He supports them if they are unhappy with any changes to their work. His loyalty, he explained, is always with the person who first brought the vision to life.
Producer Ritesh Sidhwani, who is working with Farhan on ‘120 Bahadure’, also weighed in. He completely agreed with Farhan. Sidhwani sees AI as a tool that needs responsible use. He compared it to how people learned to use Google. AI, he said, is simply the next step in technology. Sidhwani had read about what happened with ‘Raanjhanaa’. He felt it was definitely not right. He believes no changes should be made to a film. This holds true unless the director, actor, or anyone else involved gives their direct permission.
Farhan Akhtar’s Excitement for ‘120 Bahadure’
Beyond the AI debate, Farhan Akhtar is focused on his new project. He is very excited about ‘120 Bahadure’. This film tells a powerful story of courage. It highlights the immense bravery of army soldiers.
Farhan plays Major Shaitan Singh Bhati in the movie. The story is set during the 1962 India-China war. It shows how 120 Indian soldiers bravely stood against thousands of Chinese troops. They fought hard and protected their country. They did this without caring for their own lives. Farhan shared that making this film gave him the same strong feeling he had while working on ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’.
