Gajraj Rao Compares Raanjhanaa AI Ending To Sholay: ‘We Got Lucky Back Then'
While reacting to Varun Grover's take on the AI-altered ending of Raanjhanaa, Gajraj Rao expressed relief that AI didn't exist during Sholay. In the wake of the ongoing dispute about the AI-altered re-release of Aanand L Rai's 2013 film Raanjahanaa, actor Gajraj Rao voiced his concerns over the impact of AI (Artificial Intelligence) on storytelling. He reacted to Varun Grover's video criticising the AI-edited ending of Raanjhanaa, in which he recalled his uncle suggesting a change to the ending of Masaan. Reacting to this, Gajraj Rao humorously remarked that he was glad Ramesh Sippy's uncle didn't have similar thoughts while making Sholay. He further expressed relief that AI was not available back then, or it might have altered the film's memorable moments including Amitabh Bachchan's emotional farewell. He pointed out that AI-generated approach could have ruined some of the best cinematic moments in Bollywood. Soon after Varun Grover shared the reel criticizing Raanjhanaa's AI-altered ending on Instagram, Gajraj Rao shared it to his Instagram stories and wrote, 'Shukr hai, Ramesh Sippy (director of Sholay) saab ke mama ji ke khayalat aise nahi they, aur AI to khair paida hi nahi hua tha, varna Gabbar ka nishaana chook jaata aur Amit ji ka kirdar, duniya ko alvida na kehta…Bach gaye hum log (Thank God, Ramesh Sippy's uncle didn't have such thoughts, and AI didn't exist. Otherwise, Gabbar's aim would've missed, and Amitabh Bachchan's character wouldn't have been able to say 'Alvida' to the world… We got lucky back then)." Check out his Instagram story below! What Did Varun Grover Say About Raanjhanaa's AI-Edited Ending? In the video, Grover humorously recounts his uncle's reaction to the first showing of Masaan. His uncle praised the film but suggested altering the ending to ensure its success. Grover amusingly describes how he had to invent logistical reasons to avoid making such a change, citing a lack of budget, time, and actor availability. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Varun Grover (@vidushak) He then wryly notes that someone else's uncle seemed to have the resources to use AI to edit Raanjhanaa, giving it a happy ending and re-releasing it. 'But apparently, someone else's uncle has enough to AI-edit Raanjhanaa, make it a happy ending, and re-release it. So, whoever's uncle it is, namaste to them," he said. Raanjhanaa AI-Altered Ending Dispute Twelve years after its original release, Aanand L Rai's Raanjhanaa is set to return to theatres in Tamil Nadu as Ambikapathy on August 1, 2025. Promotional posters for Ambikapathy suggest that the film now features an 'AI-powered" alternate ending in which Dhanush's character does not die, deviating dramatically from the original tragic conclusion. Director Aanand L Rai also expressed his disappointment, and said that the film did not need a new climax. He also raised serious concerns about the legal, ethical, and creative consequences of using AI to tamper with films and performances without consulting their original creators or actors.
