Love You: Kannada director makes first AI-generated feature film; check other artificial intelligence movies coming soon
Taking on the dual roles of producer and director, Murthy has revealed that the project will premiere on a single screen to set a record.
Apart from him, the only other human involved was Nuthan, a graphic artist-turned-AI technician.
The team licensed around 30 AI tools, with the software costs totalling nearly ₹10 lakh. The 95-minute film, which includes 12 songs, took approximately six months to complete.
However, Murthy acknowledged its limitations. The regional censor officer reportedly noted inconsistencies in character features across scenes.
Murthy also admitted that creating emotional expressions and achieving proper lip-syncing posed challenges.
Nuthan spoke about the rapid evolution of AI and noted that the tools used were already outdated.
"If we recreated the same film today, it would be a thousand times better. That's no exaggeration, as Al tech is evolving every day. The tools we used are already six months old," TOI quoted Nuthan as saying.
"I was a graphic designer and ad filmmaker, and AI was completely new to me. It was all trial and error, and it took us six months. But, give me a script now and I can deliver a film in two months," he said.
Is Love You the first AI-generated feature film?
While Love You claims to be the first AI-generated feature film, the trailer of another AI movie called Naisha was released on February 27.
The movie features fully AI-made visuals and lead characters. It follows Naisha, a Bengali-Mizo girl, and Zain, a rapper and swimmer. Directed by Vivek Anchalia, Naisha will be released in theatres in May 2025.

This 2-hour 20-minute gripping drama-thriller, with an IMDb rating of 7.2, blends astrology, science, and a jaw-dropping climax, movie name is...
Directed by Nelson Venkatesan, the film stars Atharvaa Murali and Nimisha Sajayan in a gripping tale that explores the intersection of astrology and science. It follows two souls battling life in different ways — Anand, still reeling from the loss of his first love and fresh out of rehab, and Divya, who suffers from a mental health condition. Their arranged marriage happens against some opposition, but Anand chooses to stand by Divya despite learning about her struggles. The twist that changes everything Soon after their wedding, happiness fills their home with the birth of their child. But on the very same day, everything changes. Divya claims her newborn has been swapped. Initially dismissing it as paranoia, Anand begins to uncover disturbing truths that shake him to his core. The investigation takes them deep into a dark web of astrology-linked superstitions, psychological battles, and a chilling international child trafficking ring. More than just a thriller DNA doesn't just aim to scare — it holds a mirror to society, questioning deep-seated prejudices and the unjust burden placed on mothers to 'prove' their love and sanity. Its layered writing keeps the mystery tight until the last frame, where the climax lands like a jolt. The background score doubles the suspense, while the cinematography adds to the unease — from hospital corridors to dimly lit investigative sequences. Both visually and emotionally, it grips till the end. Where to watch DNA With an IMDb rating of 7.2 and a BookMyShow score of 8.9, DNA is now streaming on JioHotstar in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam. If you missed it in theatres, now's your chance — grab your popcorn, dim the lights, and let the mystery unfold.

'It's been a very, very tough film to make, and to get this kind of recognition at the national level with two very prestigious awards is supremely exciting and satisfying,' he said. Director Sudipto told ANI , 'The journey of making The Kerala Story was a team effort and it is the team's victory. It was not made in Mumbai but we went to small villages and cities in Kerala and collected facts for the story. It is a different kind of feeling.' However, the decision to recognise the film has drawn criticism from Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. He expressed his disappointment, stating that the film promotes an ideology that, in his view, distorts facts and spreads communal discord. 'By honouring a film that spreads blatant misinformation with the clear intent of tarnishing Kerala's image and sowing seeds of communal hatred, the jury of the National Film Awards has lent legitimacy to a narrative rooted in the divisive ideology of the Sangh Parivar,' he wrote on X.
