Earlier, the filmmaker turned to Instagram to share how he put the AI chatbot ChatGPT to the test, tasking it with drafting the script for Masoom 2. He put out a movie still and shared a lengthy note about the AI's interpretation of the film's subject.

 He stated, “There’s so much talk about AI ( Artificial Intelligence), and how it’s going even take over creative writing, that I decided to test it. I asked ChatGPT to come up with a story for Masoom 2 - the next generation .. my next film… and was amazed at AI’s intuitive understanding of the film and the themes behind it .. in AI’s version Rahul ( played by Jugal Hansraj) always carried the angst of why he was rejected by his father initially .. but then grows up and gets married .. but not till he has kids of his own, does he realise the pressures his father had when they first found each other .. and finally forgives his father."

For the unversed, 'Mr. India' is a classic Bollywood science fiction superhero film released in 1987, directed by Shekhar Kapur. The story revolves around Arun Verma, played by Anil Kapoor, who discovers a unique and powerful device that grants invisibility. After the death of his father, Arun decides to use the device for good and takes on the responsibility of protecting the oppressed and needy
