For cinema’s love

“Deep and disastrous”
In a emotional note shared on social media, Rai wrote: “The real and depth has been disturbed in the last three weeks. To see Raanjhana, a film arising out of care, struggle, cooperation and creative risk, should be replaced, and re -released, nothing has been reduced without my knowledge or consensus.
Eros’ AI “Happy Ending” promotes controversies
After the announcement of Ragajna’s re -release by Aeros International, the controversy erupted, with a new climax that was created using artificial intelligence to provide the audience with a “pleasant end”.
Several filmmaker, including Neeraj Pandey, Kabir Khan, Kanika Dhillon, Varun Grover, Renuka Shahne and Tanuj Garg, have come out in support of Rai, who are “immoral” labeling the decision.
“I don’t support or support this version”
Thanking industry and fans for their solidarity, Rai said: “And yet, in the midst of all this, the support and solidarity from the industry, our audience and the large creative community has reminded me of what Raanjhana did for the first place – the connection, courage and truth.”
Emphasizing your stance, he said: “Let me say it clearly as clearly.
“A betrayal of everything we created”
Calling Raizna’s AI version “careless acquisition”, Rai said that it strips the work of its “intentions, reference and soul”.
He further said: “The idea that your work can be taken and modified by a machine, then can be designed as innovation, is deeply derogatory. To explore the emotional heritage of a film in a synthetic cape without consent, it is not a creative function.
