Maddock Films has officially announced the release date for their upcoming movie Mahavatar, along with the first look of lead actor Vicky Kaushal. Some internet users have speculated that his appearance in the poster looks "AI-generated." Let's explore the reactions and reasoning behind these claims.

As the motion poster of Mahavatar was released, one user shared it on a Reddit thread titled, "First look of Vicky Kaushal's Mahavatar in which he plays Lord Parshuram." Upon seeing Vicky's long hair and beard look in the movie, one user claimed, "I'm pretty sure this is AI generated." Another user agreed, saying, "Lol Obviously it isVicky currently doesn't have that appearance, and he would need to undergo an intense transformation to attain this look.Even if he does, people will start complaining if the actual look doesn't measure up. AI is messing with everyone's minds."

Mahavatar is set to release in cinemas during Christmas 2026. This period drama stars Vicky Kaushal as Lord Parshuram, alongside Rashmika Mandanna. The movie is directed by Amar Kaushik and produced by Dinesh Vijan under the banner of Maddock Films.
