Kamal Haasan is self-avowed tech enthusiast, and he recently visited the headquarters of Perplexity AI in San Francisco, where he met with the company’s co-founder and CEO, Aravind Srinivas. The meeting was a convergence of two worlds — cinema and artificial intelligence — highlighting his relentless pursuit of innovation and Srinivas’s groundbreaking contributions to AI technology.

Kamal, through a post on X, expressed his admiration for the ingenuity behind Perplexity AI, a conversational search engine that merges large language models with reliable, citation-backed answers. He described the visit as inspiring, stating, "From cinema to Silicon, the tools evolve—but our thirst for what's next remains."

Srinivas reciprocated the admiration, praising Haasan’s passion for learning and incorporating advanced technology into his films. "Your dedication to pushing boundaries in filmmaking is truly inspirational," Srinivas's post on X said.

Kamal's visit apparently included discussions on how AI could revolutionise filmmaking, from streamlining production workflows to enhancing storytelling through data-driven insights. The actor also explored Perplexity’s innovative features, expressing interest in how such tools could be integrated into creative processes.

Social media, not surprisingly, reacted with excitement following the meeting, with fans suggesting Kamal as the ideal brand ambassador for Perplexity AI in India. One user commented, "Kamal sir stands for knowledge and self-learning—he’s the perfect fit for Perplexity!"

Others celebrated the collaboration as a proud moment for Indian ingenuity, with one fan noting, "From scripts to silicon valleys, Kamal Haasan continues to inspire."

Kamal’s visit to Perplexity AI comes ahead of the release of his much-anticipated film Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam. The actor’s exploration of AI aligns with his vision of leveraging technology to elevate Indian cinema to global standards.
