CHENNAI: DMDK general secretary Premalatha Vijayakanth on Friday said that Captain Vijayakanth should not be used in films through Artificial Intelligence.

“A warm request to everyone from the Tamil film fraternity. Various reports come from multiple platforms about using Captain Vijayakanth’s roles in the films through Artificial Intelligence. I request you all to refrain from announcing such things without our prior permission,” Premalatha said in a statement.
