When cinema meets artificial intelligence, stories are reborn without sets, actors, or cameras.
The Announcement
In a landmark development for global cinema, Twenty 21 St\
udios has joined hands with Intelliflicks Studios to co-produce one of the world’s first fully AI-powered feature films – Maharaja in Denims. The project, officially unveiled in August 2025, is based on the celebrated novel by Khushwant Singh.
This bold initiative will be directed and produced by Suryaveer Singh Bhullar, who aims to merge literature, technology, and cinema in ways never seen before.
Why It’s a Gamechanger
Unlike traditional filmmaking, Maharaja in Denims is being created without actors, sets, or cameras. Every scene, character, and sequence will be generated through artificial intelligence tools that combine generative visuals, AI-driven voice, and storyboarding.
This marks a significant shift in how films can be produced:
- Cost-Effective Storytelling: Cuts down on production costs, location logistics, and large-scale physical shoots.
- Creative Freedom: Allows directors to visualize scenes limited only by imagination, not by resources.
- Tech Integration: Bridges literature and cinema with generative AI to create a new medium of storytelling.
The Story Behind Maharaja in Denims
The film is adapted from Khushwant Singh’s novel that blends history, romance, and cultural identity. Through AI, characters like Hari Sandhu and Suzanne will come alive in a reimagined cinematic form.
The teaser has already generated curiosity, offering glimpses into a visually rich narrative powered entirely by algorithms yet rooted in human creativity.
Global & Industry Significance
- This collaboration puts India at the forefront of AI-powered cinema, rivaling Hollywood and European experimental studios.
- It highlights how AI can transform entertainment beyond short-form clips into full-length films.
- Opens the door for independent creators to experiment with cinema without big budgets.
Maharaja in Denims isn’t just a film—it’s a revolution. By combining Twenty 21 Studios’ production expertise with Intelliflicks’ AI innovation, the project has the potential to redefine global filmmaking.
As cinema takes its next leap into the digital age, this collaboration shows that the future of films may not need cameras, but imagination powered by code.
