‘Main character? No. He’s the whole storyline’: Govt shares pictures of PM Modi in AI generated Studio Ghibli style

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the latest to hop into the viral Studio Ghibli-inspired art trend, as the Union government recently shared a stunning collection of AI-generated portraits that reimagine key moments from his tenure in the famous Japanese animation style.

Taking to its X account on Friday, the government shared a series of pictures along with a caption that read, “Main character? No. He’s the whole storyline. Experience New India in Studio Ghibli strokes.”

These artworks transformed memorable scenes from PM Modi’s political career into dreamy, pastel-colored frames reminiscent of the iconic films of animator Hayao Miyazaki.

The collection included AI-crafted images of Modi, such as meetings with world leaders like US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron. Other pictures show him in an Indian Army uniform, proudly holding the Tricolour, and standing before the historic ‘Sengol’ sceptre, which was placed in the new Parliament in 2023.

One AI-generated picture showed his sortie in a Tejas Twin Seat Light Combat Aircraft, while another portrayed him standing next to a Vande Bharat train. Apart from this, the series also included pictures from his Maldives visit and participation in the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan cleanliness drive, which are part of this imaginative collection.
