Kamal Haasan’s interest in AI and technology is well-established. He recently travelled to the United States to undertake a course on artificial intelligence and explore its applications in filmmaking, as reported by Deccan Herald.
This course was meant to last 90 days, however, Haasan managed to attend just 45 days before returning to India to meet his work commitments. His upcoming films are set to incorporate AI technology.
