Love You: A priest from the Karnataka village of Siddehalli, which is close to Bengaluru, has taken the Kannada film industry by surprise by producing a movie on a shoestring budget and with no actors, musicians, or crew. Yes, you read that right!

Narasimha Murthy brought his dream story to life with the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

Kannada AI Movie Love You Budget And Runtime

Narasimha Murthy worked with Nuthan, a graphic designer who is now an AI technician, to realize his idea. An important milestone for AI-generated movies in India has been reached with the Central Board of Film Certification's (CBFC) U/A certification of the 95-minute Kannada movie.

With a Rs 10 lakh budget, the entire project was finished in six months, with the majority of that money going towards software licensing.

The Bengaluru priest spoke about the AI-generated movie to The New Indian Express and said, "Every frame, song, dialogue, character animation, lip-sync, and camera movement has been built entirely by artificial intelligence."

The all-AI romance drama Love You is now preparing for a worldwide theatrical debut in the upcoming months; a formal release date will be revealed shortly. "This film is a whole new language of storytelling and it begins right here," he added.

About Kannada AI Movie Love You 

Narasimha Murthy wrote some of the lyrics, but Love You features 12 original songs and AI-generated dialogue. Narasimha Murthy told TOI that, in spite of his assertion, Where The Robots Grow, which was released in 2024, is the first AI-generated film in history.

Love You is a romance drama which is completly curated using AI. The Kannada movie aims to elevate the way of human storytelling. 

Meanwhile, Narasimha Murthy is already working on two additional AI-generated creations that are based on historical figures Immadi Pulikeshi and Kempe Gowda, the founder of Bengaluru.
