Mumbai, Apr 7: Days after the first look of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana was unveiled, social media has been flooded with AI-generated images reimagining actors as Lord Rama, with late actor Sushant Singh Rajput trending widely.

His sister Shweta Singh Kirti shared AI-generated visuals of her brother portraying Lord Rama on Instagram, stating that no present-day actor could embody the role as beautifully as he would have.

In an emotional note, she said the images stirred deep feelings because Lord Rama represents values such as dignity, compassion, truth and sacrifice. She added that Sushant’s personality reflected those very qualities, making the portrayal feel natural and powerful.

“Bhai as Rama moves us because he doesn’t only look divine and graceful, but radiates the strength of character that Ram Ji embodies… nobody in the present day can play Rama as beautifully as he would have,” she wrote.

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14, 2020. Medical investigations later confirmed death by suicide, with the post-mortem conducted at Cooper Hospital citing asphyxia as the cause.

The post drew strong reactions online, with many users expressing admiration for the late actor. Several comments highlighted his “aura,” “innocence,” and “honesty,” with users saying he would have been ideal for the role of Lord Rama.

Meanwhile, the first look of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama from Ramayana was recently shared by producer Namit Malhotra, who described the character as a symbol of duty, sacrifice and moral strength.

The big-budget film, reportedly made at a cost of Rs 4,000 crore, features a star-studded cast including Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Yash and Ravi Dubey.

Music for the film brings together global talents, with A. R. Rahman collaborating with Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer for the project.

The film continues to generate massive buzz online, with fans actively engaging in discussions and creative interpretations ahead of its release.
