In this season of Artificial intelligence taking some sections of filmmaking and despite Rs 1200 budget at stake, ace director S S Rajamouli trusts humans over technology. According to reports, the ace director is reportedly using human voices over AI dubbing for his most prestigious film Varanasi, which will have a Global release in almost all major languages.
Varanasi is expected to be dubbed in around 50 languages and released across 120 countries. This is a massive plan and shows the scale at which Rajamouli is looking at the film.
At a time when many filmmakers are using AI dubbing even for two or three languages, Rajamouli is planning to use real artistes for Varanasi’s dubbing.
