Download and add Hindi-style typography in Canva or Adobe Express for the movie title.
Post to Instagram with warm sepia filter in-app to reinforce the vintage look.

Pro tips

Use a high-resolution, well-lit frontal selfie with a neutral background so Midjourney can cleanly replace it with the illustrated style.
Add --iw 1.5 (image weight) when face-referencing to preserve your likeness while still applying the painted poster style.
To push the aged-print effect further, append 'halftone dots, faded print, yellowed paper' to your prompt.
Try --s 900 for a more painterly, less photorealistic result that reads as authentic vintage poster art.
Pair with a Reels caption in Hindi script overlay to double engagement from South Asian audiences.
