Bengaluru man creates GTA-style video of city using AI
A Bengaluru man named Suryansh has used artificial intelligence to create a video imagining what the video game Grand Theft Auto would look like if set in the city. The clip, shared on X, shows an IT employee's typical day featuring traffic jams at Silk Board, rain in Koramangala, a dosa stop, and nightlife on MG Road.
Titled 'GTA Bangalore: Sudeep on Mission', the video begins with the protagonist leaving HSR Layout in a white cab. It includes recognisable Bengaluru experiences such as BMTC buses, auto-rickshaws, and a 'Mission Passed' message at Church Street. The parody ends with the character being hit by a speeding auto-rickshaw, leading to a 'WASTED' screen.
Suryansh said he asked himself what GTA would look like if Rockstar Games grew up in Koramangala. Users on X praised the concept, with one commenting 'Amazing creativity!' and another asking about potholes. Suryansh clarified the video was made using AI.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This is the latest in a wave of AI-generated parodies that blend Indian urban life with global pop culture, following similar videos of Mumbai and Delhi. The humour relies on Bengaluru's well-known pain points, traffic, sudden rain, and potholes, that residents instantly recognise. While the video is a lighthearted fan creation, it also reflects a growing trend of using generative AI tools for amateur content. No next step is announced, but such viral posts often inspire copycat videos from other cities.
