AI integration in Indian film industry

Overview

The Indian film industry is experiencing increased integration of artificial intelligence within its production processes. In October 2026, the Indian Institute of Creative Technologies (IICT) and YouTube released the first four short films under their ‘Create with AI’ programme. This initiative, which began in November 2025, utilizes YouTube’s AI software and IICT’s mentorship to assist filmmakers in concept development, visualization, and post-production.

Further technological expansion in the sector includes the launch of GhostX, an AI-powered creative studio. Founded by Kunal Sharma, Shaik Adil Zama, and Rabia Jaffer, the platform provides a centralized digital workspace for script development, visual planning, and AI-assisted production to streamline the filmmaking workflow.
