Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has sparked online discussion with a social media post predicting that artificial intelligence will eventually replace organised religion once it evolves into AGI and ASI. In a post on X, Varma argued that AI's omnipresence and predictive power would leave humanity with little room for scepticism, unlike traditional belief systems. He drew parallels to historical turning points, citing the printing press, modern science, and nuclear weapons, but argued that AGI and ASI would mark a more decisive shift as the first intelligence measurably superior to humans becomes practically usable at scale. Varma claimed that stepping away from systems run by advanced AI would not be a viable option for individuals or society, framing continued relevance as tied to alignment with the systems shaping what is knowable and achievable. On the work front, Varma is set to return to Hindi cinema with the horror-comedy 'Police Station Mein Bhoot', marking a reunion with Manoj Bajpayee nearly three decades after Satya. The film centers on a haunted precinct where the ghost of a dreaded encounter-killed gangster returns to torment the police force, co-starring Genelia Deshmukh and Ramya Krishnan.
