										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="608" data-end="833">Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn and producer Danish Devgn on Monday announced their upcoming AI powered film Bal Tanhaji, which will be produced under their next generation entertainment venture Lens Vault Studios.</p>

<p data-start="1730" data-end="2131">Danish Devgn, founder and chief executive officer of Lens Vault Studios, said the film redefines how legacy narratives can evolve through technology. He added that generative AI enables the expansion of story universes in ways that were not possible earlier, making them more immersive, scalable and relevant for new age audiences, and that this approach forms the foundation of the studio’s vision.</p>
