“Generative AI allows us to expand story universes in ways that were previously impossible, making them more immersive, scalable, and relevant for new-age audiences. This is the foundation on which Lens Vault Studios is being built,” Danish Devgn explained.
Building on Tanhaji’s Commercial Success
Bal Tanhaji does not replace or modify the original 2020 film directed by Om Raut. Instead, it creates complementary content designed for AI-enhanced media platforms, aligning with Lens Vault’s multi-format storytelling strategy.
