Karan Johar criticizes Raanjhanaa's AI-altered ending

Karan Johar backed director Aanand L. Rai regarding the Raanjhanaa re-release. The 2013 film returned to theaters in August 2025 with an AI-altered climax. This change caused disagreement between producer Eros International and the original creators. Johar emphasized producers must consult directors before altering their film's vision. He called the AI change inauthentic and noted its limited box office success.
