Indian Studio Uses AI To Change 12-Year-Old Film's Ending Without Director's Consent in Apparent First
Indian studio Eros International plans to re-release the 2013 Bollywood romantic drama "Raanjhanaa" on August 1 with an AI-generated alternate ending that transforms the film's tragic conclusion into a happier one.
