Soundarya Rajinikanth, daughter of Superstar Rajnikanth, is set to re-release her father's film Kochadaiyaan with an AI-enhanced makeover. The original film, released in 2014, failed to impress audiences due to its subpar animation and photo realistic quality. However, Soundarya has used AI technology to revamp the film, and a glimpse of the remastered version has been released.
The original film was a bold attempt at creating a photorealistic motion capture feature film, but it didn't quite live up to expectations. Soundarya has now enhanced every frame and sequence, and even plans to re-cut the movie. "More than a decade ago, we dared to attempt something India had never done before... This one’s personal. Some journeys don’t end. They evolve", she shared on social media.
The remastered Kochadaiyan is expected to release in theatres soon, featuring Rajnikanth and Deepika Padukone in new, AI-enhanced avatars. The film's original plot revolved around a warrior who seeks to reclaim his kingdom. With the AI makeover, the visuals are expected to be more vibrant and realistic.
The success of the remastered version remains to be seen, but it's clear that Soundarya is passionate about giving her father's film a new lease of life. The use of AI technology has generated buzz around the film, and fans are eager to see the revamped version.
