Kannada cinema is set to witness a piece of the AI revolution in the global film industry with LOVE YOU, which is claimed to be the world’s first fully AI-generated feature film and the first of its kind from Karnataka. Directed and produced by S Narasimhamurthy, LOVE YOU is, as he puts it, “a digital marvel”.Talking about the film, Narasimhamurthy says, “Every frame, song, dialogue, character animation, lip-sync, and camera movement has been built entirely by artificial intelligence.

" Behind the code and creativity is AI engineer Nutan, who led the technological vision, while Sundar Raj Gundurao anchored the film’s creative backbone.With a runtime of 95 minutes and an impressive 12 original songs—all generated by AI—LOVE YOU blurs the lines between man-made art and machine-driven imagination, as per the makers.“From virtual locations to emotion-packed scenes, the film is a showcase of AI’s potential to match, mimic, and even elevate human storytelling,” Narasimhamurthy adds.



Interestingly, LOVE YOU is also the first-ever AI film to receive a CBFC certificate (U/A), officially making it eligible for theatrical release. “We are stepping into an era where storytelling and technology don’t just co-exist—they co-create. That Kannada cinema leads this frontier fills me with pride,” he says.

LOVE YOU, a romantic drama created entirely by AI, is now gearing up for a global theatrical release in the coming months, with an official date to be announced soon. “This film is a whole new language of storytelling — and it begins right here,” concludes the director..
