Mass look. Moody lighting. Throne vibes. In this guide, you’ll create an ultra-realistic, high-contrast black-and-white cinematic portrait inspired by Rajinikanth’s “Coolie” first-look aura — but starring you. All you need is ChatGPT with image generation and the exact prompt below.

What you’ll make: A 4K, iconic film-poster-style portrait: you seated on a vintage high-back leather throne, denim shirt sleeves rolled, aviators on, dramatic backlight through mist, pure dark background. Photorealistic and razor-sharp.

🛠️ What You’ll Need

• ChatGPT with image generation (e.g., GPT-4o / Plus plan)
• Your photo (clear face, neutral expression)
• 60–90 seconds of total time

📋 Exact Steps

1. Open ChatGPT (use a model with images).
2. Upload your image (front-facing or slight angle; good detail helps).
3. Paste the prompt below and send.

🧾 Prompt (Copy & Paste)

Ultra-realistic, high-contrast black-and-white cinematic portrait inspired by Rajinikanth in the 'Coolie' first look poster. A man sits confidently on a tall, vintage, high-back leather throne chair with intricate carved wooden frame and diamond-tufted leather upholstery. His legs are crossed casually, arms resting firmly on the throne's padded armrests, fingers slightly relaxed. He wears a casual denim shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, the first button of the shirt left open, paired with dark trousers, and classic aviator sunglasses. His expression is confident, calm, and commanding, with a rugged beard and perfectly styled hair. Dramatic backlighting creates a halo effect through soft smoke or mist behind the chair, enhancing depth and atmosphere. The lighting is moody and cinematic, with strong shadows and sharp highlights emphasizing the throne's textures, the folds of the shirt, and the contours of the face. Replace the original actor with the provided person's face while keeping the exact pose, body proportions, outfit, lighting, and smoke effects. Background should remain pure dark with no distractions. Photorealistic, 4K resolution, ultra-sharp, iconic film poster style.
