‘I want a real woman to kiss…’: Kamal Haasan on emergence of AI after taking a special course in USA

by

As a dedicated follower, I’m eagerly anticipating the release of Kamal Haasan‘s upcoming film, Thug Life, which is set to premiere on June 5, 2025. In preparation for this highly-anticipated movie, the esteemed actor recently shared insights about artificial intelligence during an interview with India Today, having completed a course on the subject.

The famous actor had completed an advanced AI course and expressed reservations about employing AI in movies. In simpler terms, he stated, “I wouldn’t find it fulfilling to receive a digital peck from a virtual baby. I prefer the real thing. What I mean is, I want a genuine woman to kiss, not a hologram. I want to hold a real man, not an illusion.

Kamal Haasan expressed his desire to personally meet Mani Ratnam rather than interact with a hologram of him. He believes a hologram isn’t capable of thinking like Mani Ratnam, as it’s controlled by someone else. While he appreciates AI, he’s unsure if it would reciprocate his feelings. For now, he plans to catch up and then gauge their interaction.

Summarizing his thoughts, the renowned figure emphasized that, just as humans have mastered the oceans and explored the cosmos, so too will we dominate artificial intelligence.

In terms of their professional collaboration, Kamal Haasan and director Mani Ratnam are joining forces once more after a gap of 38 years. This dynamic duo, famous for their work in “Nayakan”, are now back together under the banner of “Thug Life”. The team is gearing up to deliver another gripping story centered around the world of gangsters.

From the perspective of a lifestyle guide, let me share an intriguing tale that unfolds around Rangaraya Sakthivel Naicker, a figure once notorious in our society, who took under his wing a young lad named Amaran. This narrative delves into their fates, which seem inextricably linked. As a father figure to Amaran, Sakthivel envisioned him as his successor. However, an unexpected turn of events led others to suspect that Sakthivel was no more, with whispers pointing towards Amaran as the possible instigator behind this mystery.

In his pursuit for retribution, Sakthivel is determinedly focused. This sets the tone for the remainder of the movie as a deadly game. With Kamal Haasan and Surya in the main roles, Thug Life features Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, among others, in significant parts.

As a die-hard Kamal Haasan fan, I’m thrilled about his upcoming project! It seems the dynamic duo AnbArivu is working on this one, and it’s been code-named KH237 for now. Can’t wait to see what magic they’ll weave together!
