By Pavethran Batmanathen
Under the direction of TJ Gnanavel, “Vettaiyan” explores serious themes, including staged police encounters, while focusing on the legal, law enforcement, and commercial sectors. Scheduled for theatrical release on October 10, the film has generated considerable excitement among fans. A significant aspect of the film is the involvement of the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan, which has further heightened anticipation for the project.
However, reactions to the teaser have been mixed, particularly regarding Amitabh Bachchan’s voice. In the teaser, his character’s dialogue was dubbed by the well-known Indian actor Prakash Raj. Many viewers felt that the choice of Prakash Raj’s voice for such an iconic figure as Amitabh Bachchan undermined the character’s impact. Fans expressed widespread concerns that if this dubbing were to continue, it would detract from the overall performance.
In response to this feedback, the team behind “Vettaiyan” acted quickly to address the issue. They announced that, thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), Amitabh Bachchan’s original voice will now be used for all versions of the film. This AI technology will enhance his voice to suit various languages, ensuring consistency in impact and quality across all formats. As a result of this innovative approach, audiences can look forward to a significantly improved experience when the film’s final edit is released.
