"Inspired by true events" about a computer prodigy in Mumbai... sounds very intriguing. Hope it's not just a gimmick and the story has depth. The concept of a digital act going global is very relevant today.

As someone in tech, I'm curious about the "AI actor" part. Is it fully AI-generated or just a performance capture? The press note is a bit vague. Still, it's a bold move and I appreciate Bollywood exploring these frontiers.

Respectfully, I have concerns. While innovation is good, calling it an "AI short film" feels like marketing hype. The real art is in the writing and direction, not just the tool used. Hope the focus remains on the story of the prodigy and not just the tech behind it.
