Donald Trump retweeted a fan-made video portraying him as the hero of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion on February 22, 2020, ahead of his visit to India. His arrival was reported for February 24—two calendar days later, not one.
What was in the video?
The roughly 80-second edit used footage associated with Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and superimposed Trump’s face over the film’s protagonist. It was a user-made edit, not an official film clip or government video. The Indian Express described the shared clip as a morphed video; The Week also reported its approximate duration.

What did Trump write?
When he retweeted the video, Trump wrote: “Look so forward to being with my great friends in INDIA!” The wording appeared alongside the clip as he prepared for his visit.
Who made the edit, and why?
Contemporary reports identified the creator as an account called Sol or Solememes1. The Week attributed to the creator a caption saying the video was made to celebrate Trump’s visit and imagine the United States and India united. That attribution is based on reporting about a social-media post; it is not an independently verified interview.

Was it really posted a day before Trump landed?
No. The retweet was dated February 22, 2020, while reports said Trump would arrive in India on February 24. That makes the post two calendar days before the scheduled arrival. Scroll.in reported the February 24 arrival date.
