The filmmaker explained that the technology is being used solely to match actors’ lip movements with dubbed dialogue. Professional artists have recorded all the voices, ensuring that audiences can experience the film in their preferred languages.
Director Sets the Record Straight on AI Dubbing
Tiwari said, “As far as AI is concerned, it’s only being used to lip sync, so that we can present the film to the world in their language. All the voices are dubbed by the artists. AI has only been used to get the lip movement right, so that the audience can enjoy it in their native language. No AI has been used in dubbing, voice is dubbed by real artists only, AI is being used to lip sync.”
