The Motu Patlu trend has entered a new version. Now this trend is used by local businesses to promote their shops, users simply upload a photo of their shop, and AI automatically places two friendly cartoon characters inspired by Motu and Patlu outside the store. The final image is then converted into an animated promotional advertisement where the characters welcome customers and promote the business.
The best part is that the original shop remains completely unchanged while AI adds entertaining characters that attract attention and increase engagement.
In this guide, I’ll explain how to create your own Motu Patlu-style shop advertisement using AI image and video generators for free and that too in just 2-3 minutes.
