Like the buzz around Nitesh Tiwari‘Ramayana’ continues to grow, a new video has sparked the rumor that it might have been ‘leaked’ online.A video with blurry footage of an alleged fight scene from the upcoming epic started circulating widely on fan handles on social media. It looks like the short clip is showing Ranbir Kapoor in his royal avatar as Lord Ram, drawing his bow and arrow at a mystical creature before unleashing an attack that results in a massive explosion.The dramatic sequence quickly gained traction online, with several accounts claiming it was genuine footage from unreleased footage screened for a few audiences before the film’s release. According to online posts, the clip was allegedly captured during one of the recent fan presentations and promotional events organized by the makers ahead of the film’s release.However, it should be noted that the authenticity of the footage remains unverified.Soon after the video went viral, many fans began to question whether it was actually from the movie. Several social media users suggested that the clip may have been created using AI prompts. Others argued that the quality of the footage made it impossible to determine whether it originated from ‘Ramayana’ or was digitally generated.However, a video later posted by the fan handles seemed to confirm that the video was not a leak but an AI-generated video.In another post, a content creator took it upon himself to share that he along with several others received some new unreleased footage from ‘Ramayana’. Producer Namit Malhotra has been organizing fan screenings ahead of the film’s release, in a unique new promotional strategy. He said, “Apart from Rama, we were also shown additional images, which I cannot talk about. I would say that there, along with Sri Ram, Maa Sita, Laxman Ji, we got to see all these aspects.”He also added, “Rama’s look was in 3D.” He went on to share that the videos feature “immersive 3D” with backgrounds changing based on perspective.The incident comes amid huge anticipation surrounding the ambitious mythological epic, which is slated for a Diwali 2026 release. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor along with Sai PallaviYash 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 first looks as they gear up for the film’s global release later this year.
