Industry Voices Slam AI-Altered 'Raanjhanaa' Ending
A movie called 'Raanjhanaa' is coming back to theaters, but the ending has been changed using a computer program called AI.
Instead of the sad ending, it now has a happy one.
Many people in the movie industry are very upset because they weren't asked if they agreed to this change, and they think it's wrong to change a movie without the people who made it agreeing.
They are worried that AI might be used to change more movies without the original creators having a say.
Film 'Raanjhanaa' is being re-released in Tamil Nadu with an AI-altered ending.
The AI edit gives the film a happy ending, which departs from the original tragic climax.
Director Aanand L. Rai and other industry figures strongly criticize the change.
