Ram Gopal Varma Ditches Human Composers for AI Scores in Groundbreaking Film ‘Saree’”

Indian filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has made headlines by opting to use AI-generated music instead of traditional human-composed scores for his upcoming film Saree. In a groundbreaking move, Varma announced that the entire background score for the film has been created using AI tools like Suno and Udio. He cited the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of AI music as major reasons for his decision, explaining that traditional composers often caused delays and increased production costs in previous projects.

Varma has launched a new venture, RGV Den Music, which will focus exclusively on AI-generated compositions for future films, signaling a major shift in the Indian film industry. While this development has sparked debate, with concerns about the potential loss of jobs for human musicians, Varma believes that AI will eventually dominate music production as technology continues to advance.

In an effort to protect intellectual property, Varma is working with companies like Reclaim Protocol and Story Protocol to ensure the ownership of AI-generated content through cryptographic verification.

This bold step by Varma could set a precedent for how AI might shape the future of music in film and entertainment, particularly in India’s prolific film industry.
