A majority of internet users loved the reimagined characters and were excited to see their favorite actors in a new ‘avatar’, while some said they looked completely different. Some fans said that Shah Rukh’s ‘Rambo’ looks a lot like Twitter owner Elon Musk.
One user wrote, “It looks like Elon as Rambo rather than SRK.” A second thought the same and commented, “Elon MuSRK! Can’t unsee it now, can you?” Photographer Atul Kasbekar said: ”It’s so cool And believable.”
A third said, ”He Does Justice.. Ajay Devgn is India’s portrayal of “The Gladiator” His portrayal, quiet intensity on Tanhaji / Bhagat Singh / Raid.. Was Just Right..! ” Meanwhile, Anupam Kher’s ‘Yoda’ left users amused and got lots of laughs.
A fourth responded in Yoda style, writing: ”Anupam Kher it is not. This is not Anupam Kher. It’s too cherubic. It is too cherubic and cute to be Kher. Jokes apart. SRK’s Rambo is the best.”
A few days back, a used AI technology to show “selfies from the past”. In two separate Instagram posts, artist Jyo John Mulloor posted a series of images showing famous personalities including Mahatma Gandhi, BR Ambedkar, Mother Teresa and Elvis Presley taking a selfie.
