Mumbai: Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan opened up about the darker side of AI and its misuse at the trailer launch of their upcoming film, ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’.

Raising concern about her fake images on social media, Janhvi said, “When I see on social media there are so many AI images being circulated against my will. You and I can say it’s an AI image, but the common man will think, ‘Yeh toh yeh pehen ke pohonch gayi (She actually went out wearing this)’.”

Describing herself as “old school,” Janhvi stressed the importance of “preserving human creativity and authenticity in storytelling.”

Echoing similar sentiments, Janhvi’s co-star Varun noted, “Technology is helpful, but it has its demerits. Laws and regulations are needed to protect actors and their identity from being misused.”

He also pointed out that every actor has a unique X factor which makes him/her truly irreplaceable, and no algorithm can copy them.

‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ also stars Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, Akshay Oberoi, and Maniesh Paul in prominent roles.

Produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and Shashank Khaitan under the banners of Dharma Productions and Mentor Disciple Entertainment, the film is a blend of romance, humour and family drama.

‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ will be released on October 2.
