One question pulled Kapil Sharma into a far more serious spotlight than his usual comedy stage. The popular comedian-actor ended up talking about something that is quietly changing the world of cinema: Artificial Intelligence (AI).
In a chat with IANS during the event, Kapil opened up about how films, visuals and even storytelling are now being reshaped by AI. And according to him, the biggest confusion today is not about scripts or stars. It is about reality itself.

He was responding to a question about how Punjab used to be shown beautifully in films earlier, but that representation feels different now with the arrival of AI-based visuals and tools.
Kapil admitted that technology itself is not the problem. In fact, he believes AI is a step forward and part of overall development. However, he also stressed that every new technology comes with its own risks.
According to him, while AI is helping the industry grow, people must also stay aware of its negative side. He clearly suggested that balance is important, because without caution, the same technology that helps cinema can also mislead audiences.
Kapil’s comments come at a time when AI is slowly becoming part of almost every stage of filmmaking from visual effects and background creation to voice cloning and even digital actors.
He noted that movies are already feeling this influence, and it is only going to increase with time.
The comedian hinted that this shift is not small or temporary. Instead, it is becoming a deep change in how films are made and experienced.

While talking about technology and its impact, Kapil also shifted attention to his upcoming film project.
He will next be seen in a family drama titled ‘“Daadi Ki Shaadi”’, where he stars alongside Neetu Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor. The film is backed by Rtake Studios, BeingU Studios, and Shimla Talkies Production.
The makers recently revealed the release date on social media with a playful message: “Daadi is breaking the internet — and the rules! Is the family with her or against her? Find out in Daadi Ki Shaadi, releasing on 8th May. Gen D to Gen Z — all are invited.”
The film, directed and written by Ashish R Mohan, is being described as a wholesome family entertainer.
