AI is reshaping storytelling in Indian cinema, enabling posthumous performances and new narrative forms. Recent films explore its use in voice recreation, character reimagining, and synthetic visuals, sparking discussion about authenticity and artistic intent.
Aakash Kaushik confirms using AI to recreate late actor Mukul Dev’s voice in Udta Teer after his death in May 2025. The film’s Operation Sindoor sequence, referencing real events, required posthumous dialogue adjustments. Kaushik shared emotional memories and preserved Dev’s WhatsApp voice notes.
The new trailer for VisionQuest drops the hammer on that ambiguity with a vengeance. It’s out now, and it’s already setting off alarms in India’s digital corridors.
The film’s premise is strong: Nivin Pauly as a nameless immortal who traps Soori, a mortal, on a silent express train. Their dialogue spirals into past lives, reincarnations, guilt, and cosmic reckoning. But instead of letting sound, silence, and performance carry those visions, Ram leans on digital ghosts.
