Abundantia Entertainment and Collective Media Network’s Historyverse recently announced an AI-generated film based on the lore of Lord Hanuman titled Chianjeevi Hanuman—The Eternal. The film, which is said to be a first-of-its-kind ‘Made-In-AI’ and ‘Made-In-India’ feature film, has been facing backlash ever since it was announced. However, actor Ranveer Singh has extended his support for the project on Instagram.

Ranveer recently commented on the joint Instagram post of Abundantia Entertainment announcing the film. The post was jointly shared by Vijay Subramaniam`s Instagram account, which Ranveer follows. The caption of the announcement post read, “Proud and honoured to bring the timeless story of ‘Chiranjeevi Hanuman - The Eternal’, to theatres, in a first-of-its-kind, ‘Made-In-AI’, ‘Made-In-India’ avatar. With deep reverence for our culture, heritage and history, we are set to release this innovative spectacle in theatres on Hanuman Jayanti 2026.”Ranveer commented on the post saying, "Wah", followed by the clapping emoji. 

Clearly, his fans were not impressed with his support to an AI-generated film. One user wrote, “It’s AI. One day, they’ll make a movie without you using AI. Why are you supporting this lack of creativity?” Another quipped, “What`s waah about this bro? Isn`t it disrespectful to real artists?” A third comment noted, “As a part of the cinema industry and actor with a huge reach, the least you can do is boycott the use of AI in the creative industries and promote actual screenwriters.”
