Sanjay Dutt extends support to Shamshera, Ranbir after film fails to perform - here's what he said

Ranbir Kapoor-Sanjay Dutt starrer 'Shamshera' failed to meet people's expectations as far as the film's box office performance is concerned. As the film couldn't perform well in cinemas and amid a lot of backlashes and trolling, Sanjay Dutt has come to the fore and extended support to the film and director Karan Malhotra.

"Shamshera will find its tribe someday but until it does, I stand resolute with the film, the memories we created, the bond we shared, the laughs we had, the hardships we went through," wrote Sanjay in a long note he posted on Twitter.


Sanjay addressed all the hatred directed toward Ranbir Kapoor also. Here's what he wrote, "It's a movie made up of blood, sweat, and tears. It's a dream that we brought on screen. Movies are made for the audience to relish. And every movie finds its viewers, sooner or later. Shamshera found a lot of people hating on it; some of the hate came from people who didn't even watch it. I find it horrible that people don't respect the hard work we all put in."

He added, "It pains to see how people are so eager to spew hatred on the work of one of the most hardworking and talented actors of our times. Art and our commitment to it transcend the hate coming our way. The love we feel for the film and its people goes beyond everything that's being said." He also expressed gratitude towards Karan Malhotra and said that he's like family to him. He wrote, "Karan is like family, and success or failure aside, it will always be an honour to work with him. I stand by him always."

Prior to 'Shamshera', Karan Malhotra directed Sanjay Dutt in the 2012 film 'Agneepath'.

He signed off by quoting the famous song-- "Baaki kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna!"

Talking about the film's box office performance, 'Shamshera' was made on a massive budget of Rs 150 crore. However, it could only collect Rs 36 crore at the box office according to statistics until Tuesday. (ANI)

Kannada priest makes India’s first AI film without actors or crew on £9,500 budget

In a quiet village near Bengaluru, a temple priest has done something no one expected. He made a full-length Kannada film without hiring a single actor, technician or musician. Narasimha Murthy, who serves at the Hanumantharai Temple in Siddehalli, created Love You, a 95-minute film entirely powered by Artificial Intelligence.

Murthy didn’t come from a film background, nor did he have access to a big team. Instead, he joined hands with Nuthan, a graphic designer who taught himself how to use AI tools. Together, the two-man team used around 30 different AI applications to design the cast, create visuals, generate drone-like shots, compose music and even script dialogues. The film cost £9,500 (₹10 lakh) to make, most of which went into buying software licences, and took just six months to complete.
