The program took Shah Rakh Khan and turned him into Rambo, while Ajay Devgn became Maximus Decimus Meridius from Gladiator. Akshay Kumar, Kunal Kemmu, Vir Das and Anupam Kher were some of the other actors who transformed in the new pictures.

Via Twitter, an Indian design firm used an artificial design program to make stars like Shah Rukh and Akshay into Hollywood characters. They wrote in their post, “As a fun, light lab experiment we wanted to test the power of the new Midjourney V5 by recasting Bollywood actors as iconic Hollywood characters. Enjoy and Happy Friday!”

The first picture shows Shah Rukh as the action hero John Rambo made popular by Sylvester Stallone. Coming on the heels of his turn as the Indian super spy Pathaan, this seems like a natural fit for the actor who looks like he fits the bill as the army veteran who can take on any foe.

Next is Ajay Devgn as Maximus Decimus Meridius from Gladiator (2000). Russell Crowe portrayed the character in Ridley Scott’s film, although the legendary Ajay fits the role of the Roman warrior in the AI version. The director is preparing a sequel to the Oscar-winning film later this year.
Kunal becomes the Joker from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. Many actors have played the independent character in the comics, although fans are best remembered by Academy Award winner Heath Ledger for the antagonistic character. With green hair and a painted red smile, this version of Kunal doesn’t look as menacing as the previous versions of the character.

Actor Vir Das imagines himself as Bilbo Baggins from JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit. The comedian actually suits up as the hobbit from the Shire. Martin Freeman played the young Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit series, while Ian Holm played the older version in The Lord of the Rings series.

Akshay Kumar’s turn as Indiana Jones from Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) looks nothing like the actor, but instead resembles British actor Benedict Cumberbatch voicing the bewildered archaeologist in the series directed by Steven Spielberg.

Finally, Anupam Kher imagines himself as the wise and noble Yoda from Star Wars. In the sci-fi series directed by George Lucas, the omniscient alien is voiced and puppeteered by Frank Oz. The actor’s match as Yoda is the most out of all the recurring fantasy.

In the comment section of the post, fans felt that Shah Rukh’s Rambo also resembled Twitter owner Elon Musk. Others gave suggestions that they wanted to see the actors in other Hollywood roles from Tony Stark from The Avengers to Achilles from Troy.
