AI Replaces Film Crowds as Junior Artist Secures Bollywood Debut

In a recent development reported by India Today, artificial‑intelligence tools are increasingly used to generate crowd scenes in Bollywood productions, reducing the need for live extras. Amid this shift, a junior artist has landed a first‑time role in a Bollywood film, marking a notable entry into the industry. The move highlights a dual trend: while AI streamlines production costs and logistics, it also creates new entry points for emerging talent in a rapidly evolving cinematic landscape. The industry will need to balance technological adoption with workforce considerations as AI becomes a standard production element.
