The makers of Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan have announced a major change after the prevue received mixed reactions from fans. While Prakash Raj initially dubbed for Amitabh Bachchan’s role in the film, many viewers felt the dubbing didn’t fit well with Amitabh’s character. In response to the feedback, the Vettaiyan team has decided to use AI to enhance Amitabh’s own voice for all language versions of the film.
This decision comes after fans voiced concerns that Prakash Raj’s voice, despite being iconic, didn’t match the impact Amitabh’s presence brings to the screen. The team is confident that using AI to recreate and improve Amitabh’s voice will add authenticity to the role, ensuring a better experience for the audience.
Directed by TJ Gnanavel, Vettaiyan is set to release on October 10 and promises to explore deep themes like fake encounters and the judicial system. The film’s use of AI technology to enhance voices follows a growing trend in cinema, as seen in movies like Indian 2 and The GOAT. Fans are eagerly awaiting the official trailer to hear the final version of Amitabh’s enhanced voice.
