On 24th July, 2026, the Pakistani animated feature film “Ainak Wala Jinn,” a completely AI-generated 3D-animated film based on the 90s PTV children’s series, was released in theaters. The original series’ creator, Hafeez Tahir, posted a video on Facebook criticizing the film for cutting him out of the process and ruining his creation. The film’s trailers show inconsistent visuals, a story unrelated to the original show, and poor audio/visual synchronization, with visuals closely mimicking the 2015 animated film “The Little Prince.” In January 2026, the first Pakistani AI-generated film, “The Next Salahuddin,” a collaboration between Jinn TV and Cinta Gaza Malaysia, was released, drawing attention to Palestinians’ plight but suffering from AI slop symptoms. AI shots were also featured in Pakistani releases on Eid Ul Azha 2026, including “Luv Di Saun” and “Psycho.” Usman Riaz, director of “The Glassworker,” noted artists’ hesitation regarding AI due to inconsistent results, but acknowledged its potential as a tool, cautioning that AI should not take “the humanity out of art.” Globally, Bollywood films like “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Dhamaal 4,” and “Ramayana” received criticism for AI visuals, with Vikram Bhatt’s “Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past” being the worst
