Actor Dhanush has commented on the AI- version of Raanjhanaa that has been released in theatres. The AI-altered climax sees his character Kundan come back to life. While director Aanand L Rai has been strongly opposing this move by producers Eros International, this is the first time that Dhanush has publicly reacted to the matter. Two days after the AI version of the film was released in Tamil Nadu, Dhanush issued a statement. 

Dhanush of Raanjhanaa re-release

The Tamil superstar Dhanush said that the AI version has deeply disturbed him. "The re-release of Raanjhanaa with an Al-altered climax has completely disturbed me. This alternate ending has stripped the film of its very soul, and the concerned parties went ahead with it despite my clear objection."

He added, "This is not the film I committed to 12 years ago. The use of Al to alter films or content is a deeply concerning precedent for both art and artists.
It threatens the integrity of storytelling and the legacy of cinema. I sincerely hope that stricter regulations are put in place to prevent such practices in the future.
