Producer Highlights AI Deepfake Concerns and Announces Hanuman Ansh Telugu Release
Mythri Movie Makers producer Ravi Shankar addressed concerns over AI-generated deepfake misuse following a controversial video involving actor Janhvi Kapoor. He described the youth as 'polluted' by online toxicity and emphasized the need for films like Hanuman Ansh, a Neem Karoli Baba biopic releasing in Telugu on October 9, which he says instills a 'fear of God' and has achieved significant commercial success. Shankar highlighted the film's low budget and high earnings, calling it a pan-Indian hit with a meaningful message.
