Raanjhanaa's AI release: Farhan Akhtar stands by Anand L. Rai, says, 'If the creator is unhappy about their work being changed, I will support them."
At the trailer unveiling of his forthcoming war-period film '120 Bahadur,' the actor-producer Farhan Akhtar weighed in on the growing discourse around artificial intelligence in cinema, his remarks coming in the wake of renewed controversy over Raanjhanaa's re-release and its AI-altered ending. Farhan Akhtar backs Aanand L Rai in AI-cinema controversy When asked about the issue, Farhan voiced his support for filmmaker Aanand L Rai, stating that he will always stand with the creator of the film. "If the creator is unhappy about their work being changed, I will support them. That's where my loyalty lies," said the 'Rock On' star before concluding, "I'm not aware of the detailed circumstances, but that's all I can say.' Producer Ritesh Sidhwani also agreed with Farhan. He advocated that AI must be used wisely. "Back in the day, research meant going to a library; now, with Google and AI, the approach has changed. You have to use AI smartly and not get lazy," he added. Further, he emphasized consent and stated, "I haven't seen the AI-altered Raanjhanaa, but from what I've heard, if the filmmaker, actors, and others involved haven't given their consent, it shouldn't be done. " Controversy brews over AI-modified Raanjhanaa ending For the unversed, the producers of 'Raanjhanaa' used artificial intelligence to alter the film's original ending in pursuit of greater commercial appeal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Celebrity Mugshot Hall Of Shame As Stars Isolated in Jail Instead Of Luxury Mansions Undo Despite vocal opposition from both director Aanand L Rai and actor Dhanush, the AI-enhanced version was released to the public.

In a statement, Eros mentioned, 'While we acknowledge and respect differing views on the use of AI in film, our aim has been to explore how technology can complement storytelling and offer fresh dimensions for audiences — never to undermine the original essence of a film. The original Raanjhanaa & Ambikapathy remain much loved and widely available, and the IP is fully preserved.'

'Saiyaara' Box Office collection day 19: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's romantic film SLOWS down to Rs 2.5 crore, total crosses Rs 304 crore on third Tuesday
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda 's romantic film 'Saiyaara', directed by Mohit Suri , has enjoyed a blockbuster run at the Indian box office. After crossing the huge milestone of Rs 300 crore, the film is now seeing a drop in its third week. Saiyaara Movie Review A dream run faces a dip 'Saiyaara' opened with a bang and kept winning hearts week after week. But now, on its 19th day, the film has started to slow down. According to early estimates from Sacnilk, the film collected Rs 2.50 crore on its third Tuesday. Though this was slightly more than what it earned on Day 18 (Rs 2.35 crore), the signs of a fall in collections are clearly visible. After such a strong performance, this slowdown marks the start of a natural decline. Occupancy day 19 Even though the collections dipped, 'Saiyaara' still recorded a fairly decent Hindi occupancy of 23.30% on Tuesday, 5 August 2025. The audience turnout increased steadily throughout the day, starting with 13.45% during the morning shows, rising to 22.45% in the afternoon, followed by 25.34% in the evening, and peaking at 31.96% during the night shows. Here's how much 'Saiyaara' has earned so far The romantic film had a smashing start and gathered huge numbers in its first two weeks. Here's a day-by-day look at how it performed at the box office: Week 1 Day 1 (Friday): Rs 21.5 crore Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 26 crore Day 3 (Sunday): Rs 35.75 crore Day 4 (Monday): Rs 24 crore Day 5 (Tuesday): Rs 25 crore Day 6 (Wednesday): Rs 21.5 crore Day 7 (Thursday): Rs 19 crore Week 1 Total: Rs 172.75 crore Week 2 Day 8 (Friday): Rs 18 crore Day 9 (Saturday): Rs 26.5 crore Day 10 (Sunday): Rs 30 crore Day 11 (Monday): Rs 9.25 crore Day 12 (Tuesday): Rs 10 crore Day 13 (Wednesday): Rs 7.5 crore Day 14 (Thursday): Rs 6.5 crore Week 2 Total: Rs 107.75 crore Week 3 Day 15 (Friday): Rs 4.5 crore Day 16 (Saturday): Rs 6.75 crore Day 17 (Sunday): Rs 8 crore Day 18 (Monday): Rs 2.35 crore Day 19 (Tuesday): Rs 2.50 crore Grand Total: Rs 304.60 crore Ahaan Panday's big launch turns into gold This film marked Ahaan Panday's big debut, and it couldn't have gone better. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Best Method for a Flat Stomach After 50 (It's Genius!) Lulutox Undo His chemistry with Aneet Padda, the emotional storyline, and Mohit Suri's direction struck a chord with the audience. From its first day, 'Saiyaara' looked like a winner and it certainly delivered. New films bring fresh challenge As 'Saiyaara' enters its third week, fresh releases have begun to take away some of its shine. 'Mahavtar Narsimha', which released on 25 July, quickly picked up thanks to positive word of mouth. On Friday, 1 August, two more big films hit the cinemas, adding to the growing competition at the box office. 'Son Of Sardaar 2', starring Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur , collected Rs 2.50 crore on Tuesday, taking its total to Rs 29.60 crore. Meanwhile, 'Dhadak 2', featuring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, earned Rs 1.60 crore on the same day, bringing its overall collection to Rs 14.35 crore. What's next for 'Saiyaara'? While 'Saiyaara' has had a record-breaking run, its performance in the coming days will decide how much higher it can go. With a total of over Rs 304 crore, it has already achieved something massive. The film now has limited time before the release of 'War 2' on 14 August, which stars Hrithik Roshan , Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani . That film has high expectations at the box office, so 'Saiyaara' will need to make the most of the days it has left.

Russell Wilson's wife Ciara slammed for shaming single women and telling them to act like wives to get a man
Ciara slammed for shaming single women (Getty Images) In January 2018, singer Ciara stirred a storm of debate on social media after she shared a sermon clip by Pastor John Gray encouraging women to embrace 'wife energy' if they wanted to attract a husband. What seemed like motivational advice quickly escalated into a cultural flashpoint — prompting both fierce criticism and passionate support. Ciara's 'Level Up' advice for single women sparked major backlash In the Instagram post, Ciara captioned a clip from Gray's sermon with: '#LevelUp. Don't Settle.' In the video, Gray states:'Too many women want to be married but you're walking in the spirit of 'girlfriend.''He continues, 'You're not a wife when I marry you, you're a wife when I find you… A wife is not the presence of a ring, it's the presence of your character.' The post was widely interpreted as Ciara telling single women that their lack of romantic success was due to their failure to "act like wives." Fans accused Ciara of judgment and hypocrisy Ciara's advice came under fire quickly. Many pointed to her previous relationship with rapper Future — which ended in a very public and painful breakup — and called her tone tone-deaf now that she was happily married to NFL star Russell Wilson . One viral tweet criticized her for preaching from a 'throne': 'You can be the queen of the ball today and have cake in your face tomorrow!' Another added, 'Didn't you need grace, mercy & compassion when you were being dragged up and down the Internet for the Future situation?' Ciara's heartfelt response: growth, not judgment Facing the heat, Ciara responded with a heartfelt Instagram post explaining the context behind her message. 'I was one that girl wanting to be loved a certain way but was making the wrong choices… I needed to love myself.' She emphasized that her 'level up' mindset came from self-love and personal growth, not judgment.
