What first connected you to Gautam Rode?

His eyes. When I saw his eyes in the Saraswatichandra promo, it was then that I literally fell in love with him and started admiring him.

What made you become a super fan of Gautam?

Any fan can only call themselves a great admirer when their favourite celebrity is also great. So, I believe that I am a super admirer because our Gautam is a superhero.

Tell us about something super you have done for Gautam?

In an Indian TV poll, on the UK Asian Radio for TV Personality 2018, I voted for him 15,000 times. It was a proud moment for me.

What has been your most memorable moment?

On August 13, 2017, at 6:35pm, I talked with him for the first time on the phone. I was trying to be very normal, but after the call ended, I started screaming, laughing and running around. That moment was like flying in the sky. It was a huge deal for me.

What is the thing you most love about Gautam?

He has a big heart. He celebrates most of the festivals with poor kids and also goes to old age homes to spend time with the elderly.

Which quality in Gautam do you most relate to?

His dedication towards his work.

What is your favourite work Gautam has done?

I love his serial called Saraswatichandra. I also love that he feeds poor children at restaurants.

Why do you love being a super fan?

He is the beat of my heart. So nothing can be better for me than to be called a super admirer of Gautam, which is like a dream come true.

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.
