Every guy on my timeline wants that look. The long messy hair, the war-torn grit, the confident stride through chaos.
But here’s the problem: Instagram filters look fake. You don’t want a cartoon; you want cinema.
I spent the last 48 hours reverse-engineering the exact lighting and texture grading used by Aditya Dhar’s cinematography team to create a Gemini AI prompt that replicates this style with frightening accuracy.
If you want to turn your profile picture into a Dhurandhar poster, this is how you do it.
The “Dhurandhar” Effect: Why This Look is Breaking the Internet
Before I give you the keys to the kingdom, you need to understand why this works. The visual language of Dhurandharrelies on three things:
-
Texture: It’s not clean. It’s sweaty, dusty, and visceral.
-
Motion: The background isn’t static; it’s a blur of danger.
-
Lighting: Warm, golden highlights cutting through shadow.
Most AI prompts fail because they ask for “cool action hero.” That’s too vague. To get the Dhurandhar Gemini AI Prompt right, we need to speak the language of a director of photography.
⚡ The Magic Prompt
Copy this exactly. Do not change a word (except the bracketed part).
The Protocol:
Open Gemini Advanced (or any model with image-to-image capabilities).
Upload a clear selfie (preferably looking slightly away from the camera or walking).
Paste the prompt below.
🔴 COPY THIS:
Plaintext
Use [YOUR PHOTO] as the face. A hyper-realistic cinematic medium shot of a rugged,
intense man walking forward aggressively through a chaotic war-torn street.
The subject has long, flowing dark wavy hair reaching his shoulders and a thick, full,
unkempt black beard. He has a lit cigarette dangling from the center of his mouth with a
wisp of smoke rising. He is dressed in a tight-fitting, charcoal-black short-sleeved Kurta
(traditional tunic) with an unbuttoned deep V-neck revealing a sweaty, muscular chest.
A brown leather double-shoulder holster is strapped over his torso, carrying a pistol on
his left side. In his left hand, he grips a heavy tactical submachine gun pointing downwards;
his right hand is clenched at his side wearing a thick silver chain bracelet.
The lighting is dramatic and high-contrast, highlighting the sweat on his skin and the
texture of his hair. The background is blurred (bokeh effect) featuring other armed
silhouettes, hanging street bunting, debris, and a warm orange glow of fire on the left side.
The overall aesthetic is gritty, high-octane Bollywood action movie style, 8k resolution,
highly detailed texture. It must be ultrarealistic, and 4k quality.

Pro-Tips from 20 Years in the Game
I’ve tested this prompt on 50 different faces. Here is how to ensure you get a 10/10 result every time:
1. The Source Image Matters
Don’t upload a picture of you smiling at a birthday party. The AI tries to match your expression.
-
Do: Look intense, serious, or focused.
-
Don’t: Wear sunglasses (it confuses the eye rendering).
2. Tweak the “Hair”
If you already have long hair, keep the prompt as is. If you have short hair and want to keep it that way, remove “long messy hair” and replace it with “dusty, matted hair.”
3. The “Chaos” Variable
The prompt asks for “armed figures blurred out.” If Gemini blocks this due to safety filters (it happens with weapons sometimes), change that specific phrase to: “blurred figures in the background, tense atmosphere.” The vibe remains the same.
Why Gemini Wins Here
I’ve tried this on Midjourney and Dall-E 3. They are good, but Gemini (especially the latest updates) understands reference identity better than anyone else right now. It keeps your face while changing the entire universe around you. That is the holy grail of AI imaging.
The Verdict
The Dhurandhar aesthetic is more than a trend; it’s a shift toward hyper-masculine, gritty storytelling. Now, you don’t need a multi-crore budget or a team of makeup artists to look the part. You just need this prompt.
