Singapore, June 9, 2026 — When SuperAI 2026 opens at Marina Bay Sands on June 10, the floor will be crowded with the names that set the pace in artificial intelligence: OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Mistral, AWS, Alibaba, Snowflake and Stripe, among more than 1,500 companies. Sheeraz Hasan is walking into that room with a different kind of pitch. As founder of Hollywood.AI and Bollywood.AI, he is putting two entertainment-focused AI brands directly beside the frontier-model labs, cloud providers and payments giants that usually own the agenda at an event this size.
It is an unusual entry for a conference built around infrastructure and research. Most of the lineup speaks the language of models, compute and enterprise software. Hasan's two brands speak instead to film, celebrity media, music, streaming and creator tools — the consumer side of the same technology. That contrast is the point. At a gathering where most of the conversation runs through engineering, he is arriving with entertainment IP and the argument that culture, not just code, will decide where AI lands next.
An entertainment angle on a tech-heavy floor
SuperAI bills itself as Asia's largest AI event, and the math behind it is built for dealmaking: more than 1,500 companies and over 100 side events packed into the week, drawing founders, investors, engineers, researchers and product leaders into one nonstop circuit. The two days at Marina Bay Sands, June 10 and 11, sit at the centre of it.
Within that crowd, Hasan occupies a lane few of the other exhibitors can claim. Frontier models tend to dominate the technical headlines, but Hollywood.AI and Bollywood.AI are aimed squarely at the parts of the market that already command movies, music, celebrities, creators, streaming and fan communities. For an investor or studio operator scanning the floor for the next large AI category, that positioning is easy to read at a glance — an entertainment proposition sitting in a room otherwise organised around enterprise technology.
'You have the tech, we have the brands'
That framing — tech on one side, brands on the other — is the core of what Hasan is bringing to Singapore. The companies surrounding him supply the underlying capability: the models, the cloud, the data layers, the payment rails. His argument is that the recognisable consumer names, and the audiences attached to them, are what turn that capability into a business people actually use.
According to the brands' own positioning, Hollywood.AI and Bollywood.AI are built to power AI films, AI trailers, creator tools, celebrity avatars, media apps, talent platforms, advertising campaigns and studio-grade production products. That is a wide remit, and it maps onto an industry — entertainment — that has historically been slower to adopt new platforms than the enterprise software world but moves enormous amounts of attention once it does.
Hasan is not new to that calculation. He built his profile around fame as a business asset through FAME by Sheeraz, and the two AI brands extend that thesis from celebrity media into AI-generated entertainment. The Dubai-based entrepreneur, who also founded Dubai.News, is using SuperAI 2026 as the stage to make the case in front of the industry's biggest names.
Why the contrast matters
The value of standing beside OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Mistral, AWS, Alibaba, Snowflake and Stripe is partly credibility by association. Those companies give SuperAI its weight; an entertainment brand placed in the same lineup borrows some of that seriousness while offering something the others do not — a direct line to mass-market culture rather than the boardroom.
Whether AI-generated celebrities, synthetic actors and AI films become a durable category or stay a novelty is still an open question, and SuperAI 2026 is one of the first major stages where the entertainment side of the technology shares a floor with the people building its foundations. For Hasan, the timing is the message: he is betting that the next wave of AI value is as much about who owns the audience as who owns the model. Singapore, this week, is where he plans to test that bet against the giants.
