Anurag Kashyap Slams Vijay Subramanian for AI-generated Film Chiranjeevi Hanuman
After Vikramaditya Motwane, Anurag Kashyap has slammed the AI-generated film Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal. He penned a lengthy note calling out Vijay Subramaniam, the founder and group CEO of Collective Artists Network.
The director wrote, “Congratulations @vijaysubramaniam84. Here is the man heading the @lifeatcollectiveartistsnetwork that represents artists, writers, directors, now producing a film made by AI. So much for looking after and representing the interests of creators. End of the day, all these agencies are only interested in making money off you and since they choose turkeys after turkeys for you and you’re not making enough for them, they are going all AI.”
He continued that any actor who calls themselves an artist and has a spine should be questioning this and leaving the agency. “Any actor or anyone who calls themselves artists, and has a spine will be and should be either questioning him or leaving the agency since he has proved that he thinks you’re no match for his AI performance. This right here is the future for the spineless and cowardly so called artistes in the Hindi Film industry. Well done Vijay Subramaniam. Shame is not enough on you. You should be in the gutter.”

The makers have suggested that the film will be inspired by the Ramayana and ancient Puranic texts, using artificial intelligence to revitalise these age-old narratives. They plan to use AI to make a visual experience “designed to be enjoyed as a shared experience in theatres.” After the announcement, Vikramaditya Motwane took to Instagram to share his views. He wrote, “And so it begins… Who needs writers and directors when its ‘Made in AI.'”
The film is slated to be released on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti in 2026.
