NeuralGarage brings War 2 to Telugu audiences

When War 2 hits theatres tomorrow, it will mark a milestone for NeuralGarage, which has dubbed the high-octane action film in Telugu using its VisualDub technology.

As Subhabrata Debnath, Co-founder & CTO at NeuralGarage, notes, “War 2, releasing tomorrow, marks a historic moment for us at NeuralGarage. An entire IMAX-quality film with lip sync for all actors in Telugu — released as a Telugu original (straight film certificate from the censor board, not dubbed!).”

This achievement, Debnath, shared, reflects the core reason behind Neural Garage’s founding. “This is why we started up.”

“VisualDub enables actors to speak to new markets — without re-shoots, while preserving the original performance, keeping brand/face continuity across regions with no ‘voice–face’ disconnect, and unlocking roles beyond native language.”

Pulling this off for a big-screen spectacle like War 2 meant solving complex post-production challenges. “For video-based generative AI models to gain adoption in real-world post-production, one needs to account for quality and workflow challenges,” he pointed out. This included “sub-pixel facial muscle alignment, frame-accurate retiming, multi-frame optical-flow constraints for temporal consistency, grain synthesis that survives DI, lens-distortion-aware warps, and strict QC for cadence, motion blur, and artifact-free close-ups.”

Debnath shared that NeuralGarage worked with “up to 32-bit EXR compatibility and tone-safe warps,” while maintaining “handle-aware shots, versioned IO, and deterministic renders for repeatable turnovers.”

 “Done right, visual dubbing doesn’t just translate dialogue — it extends an actor’s market and deepens connection with local audiences at theatrical quality,” he mentioned.
