On X (formerly Twitter), the veteran director shared a photo of Nilesh, his 11th-grade dropout employee of 18 years. From a cook to a friend, Nilesh, who resisted further studies, used Google Gemini to draft the script for Mr India 2. Shekhar expressed surprise at the AI-driven creative revolution unfolding as his cook presented the story by 8 am.

The 78-year-old director and admirers acknowledged the AI's scriptwriting prowess, while not everyone embraces this shift. Hollywood scriptwriters and actors engaged in a prolonged battle with studios last year, advocating against excessive use of artificial intelligence in creative processes.

In the past, Amitabh Bachchan expressed dissatisfaction with the use of Artificial Intelligence in the film industry, echoing concerns raised by many. He particularly highlighted objections to face-mapping technology, a contentious issue during Hollywood strikes by WGA and SAG-AFTRA. Bachchan shared his experience, revealing a Mumbai studio demonstrated face mapping on Hollywood veteran Tom Hanks.
As of now, there's no official information regarding the sequel to Mr India. The acclaimed 1987 film featured Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, Amrish Puri in pivotal roles. It will be interesting to see whether Mr India 2 will have an AI-written script if the film takes an official route.
