“Raju Gaari Biryani” is a groundbreaking AI-animated Telugu short film produced by Delulu Labs, marking a fresh and innovative step in regional cinema.
The film tells the story of Biryani Raju, a man who spends his entire life chasing a single dream which is to cook the perfect biryani. Just as he gets too close to achieving it he dies unexpectedly leaving behind a wave of curiosity with gossip and mixed memories among the villagers.
The narrative strongly highlights persistence and passion, summed up through the powerful line “Prapancham Ni Marchedi Picholle”. It encourages creators to stay much focused on their goals rather than worrying about public opinion.
What truly sets this film apart is its making. It is 100% AI-generated with every frame created using advanced tools like MidJourney, Kling, ElevenLabs and ComfyUI. Remarkably just two people worked for four months rejecting over 14,000 frames to achieve the final output.
Directed by Ajith Gonamanda, the film has received very positive buzz on social media with many calling it a bold and inspiring experiment in Telugu storytelling.
