AI adoption is on the rise among Indian screenwriters, even as concerns about pay, credit, and professional recognition persist, according to a new industry report. The Right Draft: 2026, a report by Tulsea-Ormax, revealed this trend, highlighting the evolving landscape of the Indian film industry.
The report's findings come amidst a flurry of other news items. FilmSharks acquired international sales rights for the romantic drama "All That We Never Were," starring Maxi Iglesias, which is set for a June release in Spain, according to Time. Meanwhile, the Berlinale film festival continues to generate buzz, with Emerald Fennell's take on a "Wuthering Heights" character drawing attention, as reported by Time.
In other news, musician Patrick Darling, diagnosed with ALS, performed on stage with his band for the first time in two years, using an AI-generated voice clone to sing, according to MIT Technology Review. This emotional performance marked his return to music after losing his ability to sing and play instruments due to the disease.
The news cycle also includes international developments. Vox reported on the potential for a US government shutdown due to immigration disputes, alongside other international developments. This includes the investigation of ICE agents who allegedly lied about a shooting, President Trump's comments on Iran coinciding with increased military presence, and an Indian national pleading guilty in a plot to assassinate a Sikh separatist leader in New York.
The Right Draft: 2026 report, as detailed by Variety, underscores the increasing integration of AI in the Indian film industry. While the specific details of the report were not fully available, the report's focus on pay, credit, and professional recognition suggests ongoing challenges for screenwriters.
