Speculation around Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana has intensified after a short video claiming to show Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram rapidly spread across social media. The clip prompted widespread discussion, with many initially believing it was leaked footage from the upcoming mythological epic. However, as the video gained momentum online, questions over its authenticity quickly followed.
The blurred video, that surfaced across several fan pages, appears to show Ranbir Kapoor in his royal Lord Ram avatar aiming a bow and arrow at a mystical creature before releasing an attack that ends in a dramatic explosion.
The sequence quickly went viral, with multiple social media accounts claiming it was genuine footage from the unreleased film. According to posts circulating online, the clip had allegedly been recorded during a recent fan showcase or promotional event organised ahead of the film's release.
However, the authenticity of the video has not been verified.

As the clip continued to circulate, many viewers began questioning whether it actually is from Ramayana. Several users suggested the visuals may have been created using artificial intelligence, while others pointed out that the poor quality of the footage made it difficult to determine its source.
The debate soon gained traction, with online discussions split between those convinced it was an authentic leak and those who believed it had been digitally generated.
The speculation took another turn after a fan account shared a clearer version of the viral footage while claiming the circulating video was not an actual leak.
Sharing the 14-second-long clip, a user wrote, "The Ramayana Leak surfacing on internet today was an AI video."
The posts have further fuelled discussion, although there has been no official confirmation from the filmmakers regarding the viral video.
