REVEALED: THIS is what happens in the new AI-generated ending of Dhanush-Sonam Kapoor starrer Raanjhanaa

Raanjhanaa ends with an injured Kundan (Dhanush) being delivered to the hospital. He vomits blood, to the shock of his childhood mates, Murari (Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub) and Bindiya (Swara Bhasker). Zoya (Sonam Kapoor), the love of Kundan, arrives and caresses the lifeless physique of Kundan.
The altered AI ending
In the new model, the scene of Zoya touching Kundan’s face is minimize to a different shot the place Kundan might be seen respiration.

Finally, Kundan opens his eyes. In the subsequent shot, he wakes up as a celebratory background rating is performed. The legendary remaining shot – that includes the child Kundan and grownup Kundan crossing paths – follows and that’s the place the movie ends.
What has stunned the viewers is that the AI impact has been introduced upon fantastically.

Meanwhile, there have been experiences of exhibits having good occupancy and Dhanush’s followers making a frenzy in cinemas over the new, comfortable ending in addition to different heroic scenes of their favorite actor.
The controversy
However, the determination to have an AI-altered ending has led to a tiff between the studio and Aanand L Rai. Yesterday, Aanand wrote an extended submit on Instagram, “…I do not support or endorse the AI-altered version of Raanjhanaa. It is unauthorised. I had no role in it. Neither did the team that made the film. And whatever it claims to be, it is not the film we intended, or made. This was never just a film to us. It was shaped by human hands, human flaws, and human feeling. What’s now being circulated is not a tribute. It is a reckless takeover that strips the work of its intent, its context, and its soul. The idea that our work can be taken and modified by a machine, then dressed up as innovation, is deeply disrespectful…”
He additional added, “If Raanjhanaa meant something to you, as it did to us, please know that this AI-altered version does not reflect who we were. Nor does it carry the spirit of the film we made.”
Aanand L Rai had earlier additionally made his displeasure clear over the ‘reimagined version’ and shared a press release. Consequently, Eros issued a press release saying, “We at Eros International Media Limited categorically reject and strongly object to the unfounded and sensationalist remarks made by Mr Aanand L. Rai regarding the AI-enhanced re-release of Raanjhanaa. These remarks are not only factually incorrect and misleading, but appear to be a deliberate negative PR stunt designed to distract public and industry attention from serious and ongoing legal matters concerning Mr Rai and Colour Yellow Productions Pvt. Ltd. We view Mr Rai’s public outburst, especially timed just days after these disclosures, as a conscious attempt to shift focus away from the legal and governance issues he currently faces. It is unfortunate that a filmmaker of his stature would attempt to conflate legal accountability with creative victimhood. It would be best if Mr Rai respectfully acknowledges the ownership of IP as per the law of the land and his written undertakings, rather than use media unfairly as a platform to promote himself and thrive on unwarranted sensationalism.”
