The caption along with the original post read, “Main character? No. He’s the whole storyline Experience through New India in Studio Ghibli strokes.” Altman reshared the post with an emoji of the Indian flag.

The post on X showed various Ghibli images of PM Modi, where one of them showed him shaking hands with US President Donald Trump and meeting French President Emmanuel Macron. Other images of him wearing an army uniform and posing with the Indian flag were also shared by MyGov India.
