This is the best summary I could come up with:
German group Kinostar is handling world sales for Putin and will be shopping it to international distributors at the upcoming Cannes film market.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Besaleel said he shot scenes of the Russian leader using a Polish actor with a similar build and used AI technology to “overlay Putin’s face on the actor, creating a realistic effect in the highest resolution,” something he says would be impossible to do with traditional make-up or prosthetics.
Besaleel, who made his name with slick, violent (and hugely successful) Polish gangster movies including Pitbull and Mafia Women, is making his English-language debut with Putin.
The film is billed as a political thriller and psychological portrait of the Russian president viewing Putin’s life story as the rise of the ultimate gangster.
In the trailer for the film, the director shows Putin shivering in soiled diapers, humiliating his ex-wife Lyudmila Aleksandrovna Ocheretnaya by flaunting his affair with his much younger girlfriend, Alina Kabaeva, as well as cold-heartedly ordering bombings and political assassinations.
Besaleel first announced the film in May 2022, in the wake of Russia‘s invasion of Ukraine, but he said it took more than two years to develop and train the AI needed to recreate Putin’s likeness on screen.

It isn't even a realistic effect in the thumbnail
