Dhanush said that such a process is a threat to “honesty of storytelling”. He wrote, “Using AI to change films or materials is a very worrying tradition for both art and artists.

I seriously hope that strict rules will be made to prevent such trend in the future. “The story of the film is based on the background of Banaras and Delhi, in which a Hindu boy named Kundan (Dhanush) loves Zoya (Sonam Kapoor) since childhood.
