Renowned filmmaker SS Rajamouli has addressed speculation surrounding his upcoming movie, "Varanasi," explicitly denying that artificial intelligence is being employed to lower the expenses of the project's visual effects. While many emerging directors are turning to artificial intelligence as a budget-friendly alternative capable of generating striking imagery at a fraction of standard costs, Rajamouli confirmed that his production is taking a different route. Although he acknowledges that the ultimate boundaries of AI's impact on the cinematic landscape remain difficult to predict, he firmly stated that the technology's application in his current work is strictly limited to pre-production and investigative research rather than final visual effects generation.
As a trailblazer in Indian cinema's visual effects sector, Rajamouli has previously established high standards for cinematic grandeur and spectacle through acclaimed projects like "Baahubali" and "Magadheera." His ongoing collaboration with actor Mahesh Babu on "Varanasi" has nearly wrapped up its shooting phase, keeping the project on track for a theatrical release scheduled for next year.
