120 Bahadur teaser launch: Farhan Akhtar backs Aanand L Rai, Dhanush in Raanjhanaa AI controversy: “When the creator of the film is unhappy with his or her work being changed, I will always support the creator”
The decision to have an AI-altered ending of Raanjhanaa has led to a tiff between the studio and Aanand L Rai. The studio made it clear that they have the rights to do so, while Aanand made his displeasure clear over the ‘reimagined version’ and shared a long statement. A few days ago, Dhanush also backed Aanand and stated, “The re-release of Raanjhanaa with an AI-altered climax has completely disturbed me. This has stripped the film of its very soul.”
Farhan Akhtar said, “I will always stand with the creator of the film. When the creator of the film is unhappy with his or her work being changed, I will always support the creator. So, that’s where my loyalty lies. The rest and the finer print of what happened is something I am not privy to. But that’s all I can say.”
Ritesh Sidhwani stated, “I agree with Farhan. AI is something to embrace and we should use it in the right and most effective way. I have said this even before that, in earlier times, for doing research, we used to go to a library and open books. Then, Google came into our lives and we started doing it differently. So, you need to use AI smartly. Don’t get lazy with it.”
He added, “I absolutely agree to the fact that you can’t do it without the consent (of the creator). I haven’t seen it but I have heard and read about it. I don’t think it’s cool that filmmakers, as well as actors involved, have not given their consent. If that’s the case, it shouldn’t be done. So, AI should be used only to your advantage.”
120 Bahadur releases in cinemas on November 21, 2025.
