AI Being Used by Indian Content Creators to Depict Mythology

Gee, this is looking like a videogame trailer

Here's that same tale done by a different creator-team (as you can imagine, everyone and his brother are now scrambling to re-create/re-tell their favourite tales from mythology and post these online in order to market themselves)

This one looks like an episode:

My comment:  Just as the sage Vyasa needed the help of Ganesha to transcribe the Mahabharat, likewise it seems that Indian content creators need the help of AI to render things like mythology. When there is a gap between aspirations and abilities, then there's the hope that new advanced tools like AI may be able to span that gap.

The voice acting has been gradually improving over previous earlier work which left a lot to be desired:

@ 3:10 -- We get a post-credits easter egg reveal scene, like in Marvel movies, lol 😁  

Move over, Marvel -- there's a new MCU.

MCU = Mahabharat Cinematic Universe

Move over, Hollywood & Bollywood -- here comes Holy-wood.

Here's the work of yet another production house with their own take:

(Production needs more quality control)

Forget Lord of the Rings. or Game of Thrones -- it's raining Mahabharat stories now. There seem to be more studios and storytellers than there are stories available to tell. Should I be welcoming this flood of devotionalism - or should I see its sudden copious quantity as a kind of spam?

Perhaps it's a bit of a self-indulgent use of resources compared to using AI to cure cancer, though

(but oh well, we Indians are known to be pretty self-indulgent... so... indulge away... carry on.)

My first instinct would have been to use a flagship series to help launch a streaming service, like an Indian cultural version of Netflix, so that you build up your own ecosystem around your own hub, instead of having to piggyback off somebody else's. But you can't copyright the Mahabharat, since it's prior art. I'll wink and say maybe someone will start a Kurukshetra channel to show "All Mahabharat, All the Time". Actually, the best thing might be to make our own version of Youtube, which would offer exclusive access to this kind of content. You could offer small previews on the major platforms like Youtube, Netflix, etc -- but to access the full content you should have to show up on our platform to be able to watch the full thing.
