Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, fresh off ‘Coolie’ with Rajinikanth, addressed the role of AI in cinema. While acknowledging AI’s usefulness, particularly in Rajinikanth’s voice enhancement for ‘Coolie’, he emphasized it’s merely an aid. Kanagaraj values human artistry, stating he’d choose composer Anirudh’s talent over AI-generated music.
