Vishwambhara used AI visuals not VFX

Megastar Chiranjeevi is currently working on a socio-fantasy movie titled Vishwambhara, directed by Bimbisara fame Vassishta. This big-budget project is being produced by UV Creations and is expected to hit the screens later this year. A few months ago, the makers released the teaser of the film, which attracted a lot of criticism for its visuals.

At first, viewers assumed the teaser featured poor-quality VFX. However, a surprising clarification has now come from the movie team. In a recent interview, the film’s producer, Mallidi Satyanarayana Reddy, shared some interesting insights. He revealed that the visuals in the teaser were not made using regular VFX. Instead, they were created with Artificial Intelligence.

He said, “The teaser visuals were not created with VFX. They were generated using AI tools.” Explaining further, he added, “We gave the footage to VFX companies and asked how many days they needed. The CG companies said it would take three months. But we gave them six months since we planned to release the movie during Sankranthi.”

Unfortunately, the VFX work was still not complete after six months. This delay forced the team to use AI visuals to release the teaser on time. “As the VFX wasn’t ready, we chose AI technology for the teaser visuals,” the producer stated.

After receiving negative feedback for the teaser, the filmmakers decided to avoid using AI for the final film. “Following the backlash, we decided not to use AI anymore. We are now relying only on proper VFX work,” he confirmed.

This announcement has reassured fans of Chiranjeevi, who were disappointed by the teaser visuals. They are now hopeful that the final version of Vishwambhara will feature high-quality graphics.

The movie stars Trisha, Ashika Ranganath, Kunal Kapoor, and others in key roles. MM Keeravani is composing the music for this ambitious project. With the team now focused on VFX, expectations for Vishwambhara have once again started to rise.
