A poster of the 2015 Iranian movie 'Muhammad' on Prophet Mohammed has been morphed and being shared with derogatory claims while giving it a communal spin.
BOOM found that the viral poster is made of two photos, first the movie poster, and the second one is an unrelated photo of a man praying with a child around during Eid prayers at a mosque in Egypt in 2019, which have been morphed together.

The morphed poster is being shared widely on Twitter with the caption, "This (movie) should be made a hit, what do you'll say friends"
