A viral video clip 'involving' Malayalam superstars Mohanlal, Mammootty, and Fahadh Faasil is terrific. Actually, the video doesn't feature the superstars. It only features actors generated by Artificial Intelligence. The AI-reimagined version of a scene from 'The Godfather' has the three actors in their perfect form. The lip sync, the looks, the dialogue delivery - everything is unbelievably flawless.
Sharing his opinion about the marvellous AI creation, actor Rahul Ravindran wrote that there will be a not-too-distant future when actors won’t need to turn up on sets. "They will just have to sell rights for studios to use their image. Mind bogglingly good this," he wrote.
The possibilities are crazy. Imagine the producer of 'Pokiri' making its AI-generated version with Pawan Kalyan and Aishwarya Rai in the place of Mahesh Babu and Ileana. Power Star will get paid a crazy remuneration for merely agreeing for his personality to be used. IP laws will have to be upgraded to make such films possible legally.
Making news films is as much possible with AI.
As per some analysts, the future of cinema is both scary and extremely exciting. Even when Prabhas turns 80, we might see him in a rom-com. Chiranjeevi might star in an AI-generated sequel to 'Mutha Mestri' in 2030.
