Anirudh Reveals AI Secret for Coolie Movie Soundtrack
The upcoming film Coolie, starring the legendary Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is already generating significant excitement ahead of its August 14 release. The action-packed movie, produced by Sun Pictures, features a powerful ensemble cast including Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, and more. With music composed by the celebrated Anirudh Ravichander, expectations are at an all-time high.
Coolie Creates Massive Buzz
The anticipation for Coolie intensified following its audio launch at Chennai’s Nehru Indoor Stadium, where the trailer was also expected to be unveiled. The film secured an ‘A’ certificate from the censor board, signaling a gritty, action-heavy experience that promises to showcase Rajinikanth in a bold, mass-entertainer role under Lokesh Kanagaraj's acclaimed direction.
Anirudh Reveals His AI Secret Weapon
In a recent interview, composer Anirudh expressed his deep admiration for the project, calling Lokesh one of India's finest directors and praising the unique opportunity to see Rajinikanth in such a well-crafted role. He described the screenplay as “smart” and the collaboration as truly “special.”
However, the most surprising revelation came when Anirudh confessed to using ChatGPT to aid his songwriting. He explained that while working on a song for Coolie, he hit a creative block. To overcome it, he subscribed to ChatGPT Premium, provided the AI with a theme, and asked for two lines of lyrics. Out of ten suggestions, one provided the spark he needed to break through his writer's block and move forward.
Normalizing AI in the Creative Process
Anirudh was transparent about incorporating technology into his work, aiming to normalize its use within the industry. "Everyone faces writer’s block," he stated. "It’s completely normal to use AI to get past it. It saves time and keeps the flow going." His statement highlights a modern approach to music production, where AI tools are seen as assistants rather than replacements.
With this blend of star power, innovative direction, and technological experimentation, Coolie is shaping up to be a landmark film. Fans are now even more eager to see how this unique combination of talent and technology translates to the big screen.
