Several social media users suggested that the clip may have been created using AI prompts.

Producer Namit Malhotra has been hosting screenings for fans ahead of the film’s release, in a unique new promotional strategy. He said, “Besides Rama, we were also shown extra footage, which I cannot talk about. I would say there alongside Sri Ram, Maa Sita, Laxman Ji, we got to see all these looks”He also added, “Rama look was in 3D” He went on to share that the videos featured ‘immersive 3D’ with the backdrop shifting based on perspective.The incident comes amid heightened anticipation surrounding the ambitious mythological epic, which is slated for its release on Diwali 2026. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead along with Sai Pallavi, Yash and Sunny Deol. The filmmakers have so far unveiled only one official look of Lord Rama. Buzz is that the makers are gearing up to release more such first looks as they gear up for the film’s global release later this year.
