'We are exploring legal possibilities,' says Aanand L Rai, who is still in shock over makers giving ‘Raanjhanaa' a happy ending via AI
However, this re-release is going to come with a twist; an AI twist. The makers announced that the re-release of 'Raanjhanaa' will have a happy ending, where Dhanush will not die. This decision of the makers hasn't gone down well with the film's director Aanand L Rai. Though the director revealed he is still in shock, he simply isn't mincing his words to express his frustration over the matter. In an exclusive interview with us, Aanand L Rai even shared that he is exploring legal possibilities as well in the matter.
Aanand L Rai says he is still in shock
'I am still in a state of shock! I am trying to process the significance of what's being done here. Is this really happening? And you know what is most disturbing? I got to know about this through media outlets,' said the filmmaker.
'When I read about the ending being changed from a tragic to a happy one, I thought it was some kind of a joke. Who does something like this seriously? Sadly, this is not a joke. And now I am afraid for the future of our cinema,' he added.
