The release of Greta Gerwig’s directorial Barbie has caused a sensation in the film industry, becoming one of the biggest blockbusters in cinema history. The Barbie fever shows no signs of fading, with fans and digital artists showcasing their talent by creating Barbie re-creations and sharing them on social media.
Recently, a digital artist posted a video on Instagram featuring Bollywood couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt as AI-generated versions of Ken and Barbie. The video gained a lot of attention and went viral. In the video, Ranbir Kapoor can be seen as Ken (originally played by Ryan Gosling) and Alia Bhatt as Barbie (played by Margot Robbie).
The digital artist used artificial intelligence to create the video, and the result is remarkable. Although the artist mentioned that the results weren’t perfect, many fans praised the video and expressed their appreciation for the choice of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt for the roles. Some even mentioned that Alia looked stunning as a blonde with her new hairstyle.
This video follows another recent post by an Instagram account called Shadygraphics.ai, where Bollywood actresses such as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, and Rashmika Mandanna were re-imagined as Barbie avatars. Fans particularly felt that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan would have aced the role of Barbie if a Bollywood version of the movie was made.
Meanwhile, the original Barbie movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, and directed by Greta Gerwig, was released on July 21.
