text
Create a **premium, ultra-photorealistic Bollywood dark-spiritual crime-drama movie poster** inspired by the attached reference image.

Use my **uploaded self-image as the primary and definitive facial identity reference**. The final protagonist must clearly and unmistakably look like me.

## FORMAT & COMPOSITION — CRITICAL

Create the image in a **vertical 9:16 aspect ratio**, specifically designed as a cinematic Instagram Reel / YouTube Shorts movie-poster composition.

**Composition should closely follow the attached reference:**

* Main hero positioned approximately in the **center of the frame**
* Hero shown from approximately the waist/chest upward
* Large crowd of Buddhist monks surrounding him
* Monks positioned both in the foreground and background
* Hero remains the primary visual focus
* Strong depth created by overlapping people
* Foreground monks partially obstructing the lower and side portions of the frame
* Background filled with additional monks fading into atmospheric depth
* Hero visually separated from the crowd through lighting, sharpness and darker clothing
* Symmetrical yet naturally chaotic crowd composition
* Cinematic vertical framing

The image should feel like a **real theatrical Bollywood movie poster photographed on location**, not an illustration.

## HERO — IDENTITY HIGHEST PRIORITY

Use my uploaded self-image as the **definitive facial and identity reference**.

Preserve with maximum accuracy:

* exact facial structure
* forehead shape
* eyebrows
* eyes
* nose
* lips
* cheekbones
* jawline
* beard pattern
* skin tone
* natural facial proportions
* recognizable identity
* realistic age

**Do not replace my face with any actor or fictional character.**

Do not significantly beautify, reshape, slim, widen or modify my face.

The character should unmistakably be **me**, transformed into the dark cinematic protagonist.

## HERO APPEARANCE

Give me a rugged, mysterious and emotionally intense appearance.

Hair:

* dark black hair
* slightly long
* naturally messy
* subtle wind movement
* slightly textured
* realistic individual strands

Facial hair:

* natural medium beard/stubble
* realistic beard density
* authentic facial texture

Expression:

* serious
* intense
* emotionally restrained
* mysterious
* slightly dangerous
* calm but powerful
* subtle sadness and inner conflict

The expression should communicate:

**loneliness + spirituality + danger + inner conflict + redemption**

Do not make the expression exaggerated or theatrical.

## HERO CLOTHING

Dress the hero in a **dark black/charcoal rugged leather-style jacket** or dark cinematic jacket.

Underneath:

* simple dark shirt
* subtle dark necklace/beaded mala

The clothing should contrast strongly against the monks' red robes.

Make the fabric and leather extremely realistic with detailed texture.

## MONK CROWD

Surround the hero with a **large group of Buddhist monks wearing deep red/maroon robes**.

Important:

* dozens of monks
* monks positioned at different distances
* most monks facing away from the camera
* shaved heads clearly visible
* red/maroon robes
* realistic folds and fabric texture
* natural human body proportions
* varied heights and poses
* realistic crowd density

The monks should create a feeling of **mystery, spirituality and isolation**.

### FOREGROUND MONKS

Place several monks very close to the camera in the foreground.

Their heads and shoulders should partially enter the frame from:

* bottom-left
* bottom-center
* bottom-right
* left edge
* right edge

These foreground monks should be **slightly out of focus**, creating cinematic depth.

### BACKGROUND MONKS

Behind the hero, create multiple layers of monks extending into the distance.

Use progressively softer focus and atmospheric haze toward the background.

The crowd should feel large and almost endless.

## HERO SEPARATION

The hero must stand out strongly from the monks.

Use:

* darker clothing
* slightly brighter facial illumination
* subtle rim lighting around hair and shoulders
* sharper focus on hero
* shallow depth of field around the surrounding crowd

The viewer's eye should immediately go to **my face**.

## LIGHTING

Create dramatic cinematic natural lighting.

Use:

* warm golden sunlight filtering through the crowd
* subtle orange highlights
* deep red reflected light from the robes
* controlled shadows
* soft directional light on the hero's face
* subtle rim light around his hair
* atmospheric light rays
* realistic environmental illumination

Avoid overly artificial neon lighting.

The overall palette should feel:

**deep maroon + muted red + black + warm golden skin tones + subtle earthy colors**

## ENVIRONMENT

Place the scene in a **mysterious Buddhist/spiritual environment**, inspired by an ancient monastery or temple courtyard.

Possible environmental details:

* weathered stone architecture
* subtle temple structures
* atmospheric dust
* soft smoke/incense haze
* warm sunlight
* muted earthy background
* subtle depth and texture

Keep the environment secondary to the hero and crowd.

## CAMERA & PHOTOGRAPHY

Make it look like a real high-budget cinema photograph.

Camera characteristics:

* professional cinema camera
* approximately 50mm–85mm cinematic lens look
* shallow depth of field
* realistic optical bokeh
* natural perspective
* cinematic focus falloff
* high dynamic range
* realistic skin rendering
* subtle film grain
* natural motion and depth
* physically accurate lighting

The hero should be tack sharp while foreground/background monks gradually fall out of focus.

## COLOR GRADING

Use a premium Bollywood theatrical color grade.

Primary palette:

**dark maroon + crimson red + charcoal black + warm golden highlights**

Create rich but natural colors.

Avoid:

* excessive saturation
* fake HDR
* crushed facial details
* plastic skin
* oversharpening
* cartoon appearance

## POSTER TITLE

At the lower portion of the poster, integrate the title:

**"Awarapan 2"**

Use an elegant **handwritten cinematic script font**, similar to the attached reference.

The title should be:

* warm off-white / ivory
* elegant
* slightly textured
* clearly readable
* naturally integrated into the image
* positioned near the lower center/left area without covering the hero's face

Do not add any other text.

No actor names.
No credits.
No logos.
No random typography.
No watermark.

## REALISM & QUALITY

Ultra-photorealistic cinematic photography.

Extremely realistic:

* human faces
* shaved heads
* beard and hair
* skin pores
* clothing fibers
* robe folds
* leather texture
* natural shadows
* atmospheric depth
* realistic crowd perspective

Every person should have anatomically correct proportions.

No duplicated faces.
No malformed hands.
No distorted bodies.
No artificial-looking people.

## FINAL VISUAL DIRECTION

The final image should look like a **premium Bollywood theatrical poster for Awarapan 2**, showing a mysterious dark protagonist standing alone within a massive sea of red-robed Buddhist monks.

The contrast between:

**one dark-clothed protagonist + a massive red-robed spiritual crowd**

should be the central visual concept.

### MOST IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS

1. **Use my uploaded self-image for the hero's exact identity.**
2. **Preserve my facial identity accurately.**
3. **Vertical 9:16 composition.**
4. **Hero centered and dominant.**
5. **Large crowd of red-robed Buddhist monks surrounding him.**
6. **Foreground monks partially obstruct the frame for depth.**
7. **Background monks extend into the distance.**
8. **Hero wears dark clothing contrasting with red robes.**
9. **Cinematic realistic photography, not illustration.**
10. **Add only the title "Awarapan 2".**
11. **No actor substitution or identity blending.**
12. **No extra text or watermark.**

Create a **high-end, emotionally powerful, mysterious, spiritual and cinematic Bollywood movie-poster image** that looks like an authentic professionally photographed theatrical poster.

Why This Prompt Works

This prompt combines identity-preserving AI portrait generation with a dark spiritual crime-drama composition. The central protagonist is visually separated from the crimson-robed monks through black clothing, controlled lighting, sharp facial detail, and strong cinematic contrast.

The repeated monk figures create depth and visual tension, while the deep red and black color palette, wet textured hair, subtle scars, leather jacket, atmospheric haze, and low-key lighting create the emotional intensity associated with dark Bollywood character posters.

Using an 85mm cinematic lens look and shallow depth of field keeps the protagonist's face dominant while pushing the surrounding monks naturally into the background.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this prompt with ChatGPT?

Does this work with Google Gemini?

Yes. The same prompt can be used with Google Gemini for generating a dark Bollywood-inspired character poster.

Can I make the monks more visible?

Can I change the red robes to another color?
