When two of Tamil cinema’s greatest legends announce they’re sharing the screen after four decades, the internet goes into overdrive. And that’s exactly what happened with **KHxRK** — the much-anticipated reunion film of **Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan**, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. But the excitement quickly mixed with controversy when fans began questioning whether the promo featured AI-generated actresses. The makers have now settled the debate once and for all.

## BTS Video Shuts Down the AI Controversy

Red Giant Movies took to social media to release a behind-the-scenes video featuring director Nelson Dilipkumar on set with both Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and music composer Anirudh Ravichander while filming the promo. The footage clearly confirms that **real actresses were cast** — no artificial intelligence involved. Fans had circulated speculation that the women in the promo looked digitally fabricated, but this BTS footage puts those rumours firmly to rest.
