What happened

Welcome to the new-look movie set, where the quiet hum of a coding floor has replaced the cacophony of cameras, clapperboards and shouted directions.

Why it matters

The Collective Artists Network, a top talent agency for Bollywood A-listers, has long brokered the careers of real-life superstars.

Common ground

In its Bengaluru premises, filmmakers use artificial intelligence tools to create content based on Hindu mythology, a popular genre in India.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
