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.
It’s refreshing, honestly. In an era where AI in filmmaking is a very real and growing conversation, this kind of transparency from makers is something audiences genuinely appreciate.
