PAN-India star Prabhas is currently busy with the shoot of the period action drama Fauzi, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi. Recently, the makers dropped the first-look poster of Prabhas. A section of netizens criticized the poster, calling it AI-generated.
In an interview, the poster designers Anil and Bhanu revealed that AI was used only for the background. “We are not saying we didn’t use AI for the poster. However, it was used only to remove disturbances. How can we use AI for the main image? We cannot make the face in AI, as the emotion won’t be conveyed. Some bodies in the shot were not necessary for the poster, and hence we removed them using AI, as they felt disturbing,” said the duo.
Fauzi set in the 1940s explores human emotions alongside the socio-political tensions during the British era. Imanvi plays the female lead. Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Jayapradha, and Chaitra J. Achar play key roles. Vishal Chandrasekhar composes the music. Mythri Movie Makers is bankrolling the film.
