Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta has expressed strong reservations about artificial intelligence’s burgeoning role in cinema, labeling its current application a “shortcut” rather than a genuine creative enhancement.

Gupta contrasts this with the conviction shown by directors like Aditya Dhar, emphasizing that true filmmaking demands commitment, not mere expediency.
