MUMBAI: Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, who is known for his fascination with AI, shared an AI generated image of the late actors Dilip Kumar, Dharmendra, Dev Anand and Rajesh Khanna.

On Thursday, the director took to his X, formerly Twitter, and shared the monochromatic picture of the legends. The picture shows them sitting together for a meal, and sharing laughs. He wrote, “They were the biggest stars of that time. They ruled the hearts and minds of millions of Indians .. This humility , this friendship .. in this one picture shows how drastically the Indian Film Industry has changed today .. #movies #bollywood #dharmendra #devanand #Rajeshkhanna #DilipKumar”.

However, the filmmaker was trolled for the picture as social media users pointed out how it was an AI-generated picture. The director was specifically trolled for being unable to discern the picture despite his penchant for AI.

One user wrote, “Atleast dont fool yourself, its an AI generated picture.. How can you be so Dumb”.
