Eros Innovation Founder Kishore Lulla On Need For ‘Sovereign’ & Culturally Specific AI

It was an AI-generated video of the goddess Lakshmi that convinced Eros Innovation founder Kishore Lulla that India needed a different approach to AI.

“I was playing with some LLMs and wanted to make a video out of our goddess Lakshmi,” says Lulla, sitting down with Deadline on the sidelines of Eros Innovation’s ‘AI in Asia’ summit at Marche du Film’s Cannes Next.

“It produced a fantastic model – these days if you want to produce the Goddess Lakshmi, you can go to Kling, Seedance, Grok or Gemini and the images they produce will be technically amazing. But then that Goddess started dancing like Beyonce.”
