Filmmaker Ektaa Kapoor<\/a>\u2019s Naagin 7<\/a> received much love from the audience when it premiered on December 27. Fans had been eagerly waiting for the episode that would show Priyanka Chahar Choudhary<\/a>\u2019s transformation into a Naagin. However, the recent episode has disappointed audiences due to the AI-generated tribute given to the previous Naagins.<\/p>\n

\"Ektaa Ektaa Kapoor’s AI tribute to 6 Mahanaagins. Ektaa Kapoor’s \u2018AI tribute\u2019 to 6 Mahanaagins disappoints fans<\/p>\n

The latest episode of Naagin 7 featured a tribute by Ektaa Kapoor to six iconic Mahanaagins, including Mouni Roy, Surbhi Chandna, Surbhi Jyoti, Nia Sharma and Tejasswi Prakash, as Priyanka Chahar Choudhary\u2019s character transformed into a Naagin for the first time. The sequence showed the former leads appearing in their Naagin avatars. However, the visuals did not go down well with viewers, with many feeling that the makers relied too heavily on AI-generated edits and stating that the original leads should have been brought together on the show instead.<\/p>\n

One Reddit user shared a clip from the episode, writing, \u201cEkta Kapoor\u2019s AI tribute to 6 Mahanaagins.\u201d Reddit users were quick to criticise it. One comment read, \u201cI would\u2019ve preferred the mediocre CGI instead of this AI slop.\u201d Another wrote, \u201cGross, to say the least. The audience must speak up \u2014 this AI bull c**p is off-putting; it just feels like one of those YouTube AI channels.\u201d Another comment read, \u201cThis is so cringe. Ewwww.\u201d One user wrote, \u201cReminds me of the YRF spyverse,\u201d while another commented, \u201cThey are using AI in every second clip. Are they short on budget for VFX? If it\u2019s not better than previous seasons, then just stick to green-screen editing \u2014 there\u2019s no need for this pathetic AI-fication.\u201d<\/p>\n
