Indeed, a ground-breaking stride that promises to redefine the landscape of Tamil cinema, the esteemed AR Rahman has harnessed the capabilities of artificial intelligence to revive the voices of the late singing maestros, Bamba Bakya and Shahul Hameed, for his latest musical endeavour, Lal Salaam.

As the creative force behind the enchanting melodies of the much-anticipated sports drama directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth, Rahman has seamlessly integrated the voices of these departed talents, utilizing cutting-edge AI technology. This innovative initiative marks the foremost instance of advanced AI applications within the realm of Tamil cinema, signalling a revolutionary leap for the South Indian film industry.


Rahman has chosen the iconic Thimiri Yezhuda song from Lal Salaam to showcase the resurrection of Bakya and Hameed through the inventive use of AI software. Lal Salaam, a collaborative effort between the legendary Tamil superstar Rajinikanth and his accomplished daughter, filmmaker Aishwarya Rajinikanth, has already generated considerable buzz. Touted to be sports drama, the film features Rajinikanth in a pivotal extended cameo role, with Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth in the lead roles.

Rahman, a recipient of the prestigious Academy Award, is renowned for pushing the boundaries of musical creativity. With Lal Salaam, he once again underscores his commitment to innovation, seamlessly blending the rich legacy of late singers with the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence. This technical decision not only showcases Rahman's avant-garde approach but also adds an extra layer of emotion and nostalgia to the musical tapestry of Lal Salaam.

As anticipation for the sports drama continues to mount, Rahman's use of AI to resurrect the voices of Bamba Bakya and Shahul Hameed is poised to captivate audiences, setting a new precedent for the convergence of technology and artistic expression in the vibrant world of Tamil cinema.
