Second teaser
'Hanuman - The Eternal' teaser to debut
Another exciting addition to the Avatar: Fire and Ash screening is the teaser for Hanuman - The Eternal. This film, one of India's first theatrical releases made using AI technology, will be seen by audiences for the first time on the big screen. Directed by Rajesh Mapuskar and produced by Vikram Malhotra's Abundantia Entertainment and Collective Media Network's Historyverse, it is set for a big screen release on Hanuman Jayanti (April 2).
Controversy
'Hanuman - The Eternal' faced criticism from Anurag Kashyap
However, Hanuman - The Eternal has also been in the news for its controversy. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap slammed the film's announcement and one of its producers, Vijay Subramaniam, for supporting an AI-generated film while heading an artists' agency. He wrote on social media, "This right here is the future for the spineless and cowardly so-called artists in the Hindi Film industry."
