Bollywood star Ajay Devgan teaming up with nephew Danish Devgn for an AI project that brings back the blockbuster historical film, ‘Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior.’ 

Lens Vault Studios released the trailer of ‘Bal Tanhaji,’ a generative AI-driven narrative project rooted in the legacy of Ajay’s blockbuster historical film, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (2020)

Producers say they have deployed their studios’ in-house generative AI and creative technology to power the “visual design, narrative scale, and world-building framework of Bal Tanhaji ”.

The teaser features Ajay’s voiceover to bring the context of the story’s historic timeline of Marathas fighting Adilshahi, Nizamshahi, and the Mughal sultanate. There are visuals of battle and destruction. The voiceover explains how Bilal Khan killed Tanhaji Malusure’s father, Kaluji Malusure. That gave rise to the warrior in a young Tanhaji, who is seen taking arms in anger.

Ajay says they have “moved beyond conventional boundaries of storytelling. Our focus is on discovering formats and mediums that are still largely untapped, while applying the discipline and scale of mainstream cinema. Bal Tanhaji represents the beginning of this journey into future-ready content creation ”.

Danish says the film redefines how legacy narratives can evolve through technology. Generative AI allows us to expand story universes in ways that were previously impossible, making them more immersive, scalable, and relevant for new-age audiences.
