[ The main character is a stylish young Indian man with thick swept-back 1980s black hair, full beard and moustache, classic black 1980s Wayfarer-style sunglasses, black vintage leather motorcycle jacket, plain white T-shirt, light-blue denim jeans and black leather boots.
Keep the same character’s face, hairstyle, beard, clothing and overall appearance consistent throughout the video. Keep the same black vintage 1980s Royal Enfield Bullet throughout.
The story follows his day in old Bombay. He gets ready inside a vintage 1980s Bombay apartment, looks in the mirror, puts on his leather jacket and walks toward his Royal Enfield.
He starts the motorcycle and rides through 1980s Bombay streets. Show authentic BEST buses, black-and-yellow Premier Padmini taxis, Ambassador cars, vintage scooters, bicycles, roadside vendors, old shops, Hindi and Marathi signs, cinema posters, Irani cafés and weathered buildings.
Show the atmosphere of South Bombay inspired by Marine Drive, Colaba, Fort and Churchgate, including the Arabian Sea and classic Art Deco buildings. Do not include modern buildings, vehicles, smartphones, LED screens or contemporary advertisements.
He stops at an old Irani café, parks the Royal Enfield and quietly drinks chai while watching the street through the window. He finishes his chai, returns to the motorcycle, starts it and rides away without speaking or waving.
End with a cinematic rear-left tracking shot as he rides through the glowing streets of old Bombay. Vintage traffic and pedestrians move naturally around him. The motorcycle becomes smaller and disappears into the city. Hold the street briefly and fade to black.

How to Use the Prompt
1. Create the character first
Generate one strong character reference image. Use it throughout the project wherever the tool supports reference images.
2. Generate the visuals
Paste the prompt into your chosen AI image/video tool. If long prompts don’t work well, generate the story in smaller sections while keeping the same character description and reference image.
3. Use an image-to-video workflow
For better consistency:
Character reference → Still image → Animate → Next still image → Animate → Edit together
4. Keep these consistent
- Character face and appearance
- Outfit and sunglasses
- Royal Enfield
- 1980s Bombay environment
- Cinematic visual style
5. Edit the final video
Add Royal Enfield engine sounds, Bombay traffic, bicycle bells, café ambience, chai sounds, sea/street ambience and suitable 1980s-style background music.
Use subtle vintage film treatment so it feels like a real 1980s Indian movie scene, rather than an obvious AI-generated video.
Format: 16:9 for YouTube; crop to 9:16 for Reels/Shorts.
