Meet the Team

AltBollywood isn’t just a “Bollywood news site”. It’s a team of creative technologists, storytellers and cultural connectors who use smart tools and real insight to show how Indian entertainment is evolving, especially as it moves into a digital, creator-driven space. They combine data, trend awareness and deep love of pop culture to surface stories that matter.

Kenneth Anthony Hopkins 

Founder & Editor-in-Chief

Kenneth is an AI Systems Architect and cultural theorist leading the editorial and creative vision of AltBollywood. His work explores how technology influences identity, art, and entertainment in a posthuman world. Grounded in ideas of swaraj and swadeshi, he sees AI as a tool to reclaim narrative ownership and push Indian storytelling into the future. Under his direction, AltBollywood has become more than a platform — it’s a movement that studies culture through the lens of innovation.

His focus lies in shaping how people interact with the brand, from the way a headline feels to how an interface flows. Vishal writes with precision, builds with emotion, and believes AI should amplify the voice of culture, not replace it.
