Asif Ali’s latest Malayalam mystery thriller, Rekhachithram, made its digital debut on Sony Liv on March 6, a day earlier than expected. While the film’s gripping storyline has impressed audiences, what truly caught everyone’s attention was the AI-generated appearance of veteran actor Mammootty. The filmmakers used artificial intelligence to recreate his younger look since the plot revolves around the 1985 film Kathodu Kathoram.
Netizens Praise AI Recreation
The AI-generated version of Mammootty has left netizens in awe. Fans have taken to social media to appreciate the filmmakers for their innovative approach and technical brilliance. One user commented that filmmaking is not just about having a big budget but about having the right vision. They admired the way the team managed to create a high-quality AI recreation despite budget constraints, calling it a great example for future filmmakers.
Another viewer pointed out that many big-budget films have failed to use AI technology effectively, leading to disappointing recreations of veteran actors. Compared to those, Rekhachithram has done a remarkable job, proving that skill and dedication matter more than just financial investment.
A Well-Crafted Thriller
Besides the AI magic, audiences have also praised Rekhachithram for its engaging plot. The film follows a police officer investigating a 40-year-old murder case that is linked to a movie set. Viewers have described it as a suspenseful and well-crafted thriller with an intriguing storyline. Many have also lauded the AI recreation of Mammootty, saying it adds an exciting layer to the film.
