After weeks of speculation, Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 has finally been confirmed. The popular stunt-based reality show, hosted by Rohit Shetty, is making a comeback after being paused due to a change in production houses. The makers announced the new season with a fresh promo, confirming that the show will stream soon.
While fans were happy about the return, the announcement also sparked criticism online. The reason was the use of AI-generated visuals in the promo, which many viewers did not appreciate.
Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 AI Promo Sparks Online Trolling
The announcement video of Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 grabbed attention because it was fully created using artificial intelligence. No real person appeared in the promo. A disclaimer in the video stated, “This is an AI-generated creative. Do not imitate.”
In the promo, an AI model is shown tied with metal chains to the front of a truck. The truck moves towards a dangerous jump off rocky hills while displaying a Khatron Ke Khiladi poster. The video ends with a message confirming that the show is “coming soon”.
Many fans expressed excitement and shared names of celebrities they want to see this season. However, several users mocked the channel for relying on AI instead of real visuals.
One user commented, “Colors walo ko bahut pyaar hogya kya AI se.”
Another wrote, “Fir se AI promo.”
A third user laughed and said, “Colours using AI for promo.”
