AR Rahman on the film 'Lal Salaam'

According to Indian Express, Rahman stated that when Aishwarya first narrated the story of the film to him, he thought the film would be boring. He assumed it would be preachy until he watched the movie. He said, "Scenes that I expected to be cringe-worthy and sanctimonious were handled with care and turned out to be touching. I then asked her who wrote the dialogue for the film, and she answered, "I wrote, and Appa changed a little." "I realized it was his wisdom. Because he respects everything, he has done an extensive investigation and stated numerous unusual facts."

AR Rahman used AI to revive voices of late singers

'Lal Salaam' started a debate over the usage of artificial intelligence (AI) in music composition. AR Rahman, the renowned composer, used AI technology to reproduce the sounds of late playback singers Bamba Bakya and Shamul Hameed for a song in the film. In response to the outcry, AR Rahman emphasized that the process was carried out with the prior agreement of the late artists' families, who were rewarded appropriately. He underlined that technology, when utilized correctly, is neither a threat nor a nuisance.
