<div style="text-align: justify;" dir="ltr">Karan Johar blasts Raanjhanaa producer. Movie lovers cannot forget the sensation Dhanush-Anand L Rai's Ranjhanaa created when it released in 2013. Recently the producers re released the film and much to the shock of all, they changed the climax completely with the help of AI. Dhanush and Anand L Rai took a strong objection to these changes. In the midst of all this, Karan Johar, blasted the producers for using AI to change the climax. He said &ldquo;This should now be contractual. If the producer owns 100% of the film, then he/she has the right to do whatever they want. But he/she has to have the moral dilemma about it. Today also I own every IP, but if I have to do anything to the film, I call the director of the film. So when it&rsquo;s not contractual, it has to be moral. Agar aapki morality nahi hai, agar aap ek director ke vision ko badal rahe ho, release kar rahe without his/her consent, then that is not right (If you don&rsquo;t have morality, if you&rsquo;re changing a director&rsquo;s vision and releasing the film without his/her consent, then that is not right) He continued &nbsp;&ldquo;His job is to call Aanand L. Rai jiski vision thi voh, jiski wajah se aap yeh kar rahe ho aaj, it&rsquo;s your moral responsibility. You should call everybody who made that film special. It&rsquo;s the right thing to do. Aur kya hi ukhaad liya aapne change karke. Aisa nahi hai ki uss film ka bahut bada business hua. Because it&rsquo;s inauthentic. AI has to be used for its absolute worth. Jo natural hai voh zyada chalega (You should call Aanand L. Rai &mdash; it was his vision, and he&rsquo;s the reason you&rsquo;re able to do this today. What did you even achieve by changing it? It&rsquo;s not as if the film made huge business. Because it&rsquo;s inauthentic. AI should only be used where it truly adds value. What&rsquo;s natural will always work better)." The original ending of the film showed Dhanush&rsquo;s character, Kundan, being shot and sent to the ICU. Later, Zoya rushes to the hospital to be with him in his dying moments. However, the AI-altered ending showed Kundan opening his eyes instead of dying, leaving his friends Bindiya and Murari in happy tears.</div>

One cannot survive if one is not having any background and though I tried to bringing in celebrities for the trailer laungh, I couldn't convince anyone and none even responded. However from the beginning social media and media has been supporting me and trusting them, we launched the trailer and it got more than one million views and even 20% of them come and watch the film, it will be a success"

Female lead Komalee Prasad said, "&lsquo;Sasivadane&rsquo; is a very special film for me. The character I played is quite unique.

Sai Kumar gave me brilliant visuals - he turned the story I wrote into a beautiful painting. Sharvanan and Anudeep gave us excellent music and background score.

But I liked the individual scenes. I also watched his short films. The emotional scenes between the father and son, as he wrote them, are unlike anything we&rsquo;ve seen in Telugu cinema so far. Sriman garu&rsquo;s role will stay in everyone&rsquo;s memory. The film has come out very well. Sai Kumar&rsquo;s visuals showcasing the Godavari region are stunning, and everyone will talk about them. Gauri&rsquo;s costumes, Sharva&rsquo;s music, Anudeep&rsquo;s background score, everything came together beautifully. Komalee is a fantastic actress. I hope Teja garu and Abhilash garu get a big success, and Sai earns a good name as a director. Cinematographer Sai garu is already receiving praise. We made a sincere, clean film with no vulgarity. When people walk out of the theatre, they&rsquo;ll leave with joy. I can confidently say the film won&rsquo;t disappoint anyone. &lsquo;Sasivadane&rsquo; is releasing on October 10.
