An AI-generated video inspired by the Bollywood cult classic Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara has gone viral online, for reimagining a scene from the film with the faces of global tech leaders Sundar Pichai, Sam Altman, and Bill Gates.

The video features the tech leaders digitally inserted in place of the original actors—blending pop culture nostalgia with artificial intelligence just weeks ahead of the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi.

The video was shared on X by Chandan Perla, who is organizing the India AI Film Festival, a key feature of the upcoming summit. The festival is scheduled for Feb. 17, at Qutub Minar, in collaboration with InVideo and the Government of India.



“Welcome to India Sam Altman, Bill Gates and Sundar Pichai for the India AI Impact Summit. Looking fresh in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Moshi Moshi. See you at India AI Film Festival,” Perla wrote in the caption accompanying the post.

The clip recreates a well-known comic scene from the film, directed by Zoya Akhtar, in which actors Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol appear during a conference-call sequence.

In the original film scene, Roshan’s character pauses a road trip to take a work call with a Japanese client, while his friends watch with amusement, highlighting the tension between professional ambition and personal freedom. The AI edit mirrors the sequence, placing global technology leaders into the familiar cinematic setting.

The video quickly drew reactions online. One user commented, “Haha. Looking forward to the keynote discussion on the 19th and 20th.” Another wrote, “I’ve supported AI in filmmaking since the beginning. It always seems to trigger anti-tech critics with every new AI video.”

The India AI Impact Summit 2026, scheduled from Feb. 16 to Feb. 20 is expected to bring together heads of government, ministers and chief executives from India and abroad, underscoring the country’s growing role in global discussions on artificial intelligence and its applications across industries, including entertainment.
