Raanjhanaa: Questions raised over AI changes in the climax scene of 'Raanjhanaa', experts also expressed objection.
The makers of the recently re-released film 'Raanjhanaa' changed the climax through AI. This change has given rise to a new debate in the industry. Amar Ujala spoke to experts on this matter and took their opinion. Read this news…
Recently, the tamil version of the film 'Raanjhanaa', 'Ambikapati', was re-released. However, in this re-release version, the makers changed the climax of the film through AI. In the new version, the hero of the film 'Kundan' is shown alive in the end, whereas in the original film, he dies.
Director anand l rai was the first to express displeasure over this change in the film. At the same time, recently, lead actor dhanush has also lodged a strong objection on social media. Dhanush called it dangerous for art and artists and demanded strict rules.
This entire controversy has given rise to a new debate in the industry. Can the ending of a film be changed through AI, that too without the consent of the artists and creators? On this issue, we have also spoken to some veterans and legal experts associated with the film industry.
'AI cannot replace the director. It can be helpful, but it should be used thoughtfully. Changes without consent are wrong. If someone changes the ending of my film with AI and does not ask me, then it would be completely wrong. Respect for creativity is important.'
'AI is no longer the future, it is the present. It has started in Hollywood, and we will also have to go with it; otherwise, we will be left behind. Today, if an actor dies during the shoot, AI gives us the option to complete the story - this was not possible earlier. We should see it as an opportunity rather than a threat.'
'Legally, the most important thing is the contract. If it is written that only the producer has the right to make changes, then he can change the climax with AI, even if the director is unhappy. Therefore, as AI is increasing its power to change content, it has become necessary that in the contract between the writer, director, and producer, it should be decided in advance who will get how much creative control. Who will allow the changes? Otherwise, the new directors will be ignored, and the big production house will do whatever it wants.
