Amid this excitement, an unexpected trend has taken over social media: AI-generated visuals reimagining Ranveer Singh as Lord Rama. These fan-made creations have quickly gained traction, especially as Ranveer is currently enjoying massive popularity with the Dhurandhar franchise.

The trend hasn't stopped there. Social media users have also experimented with AI to envision other popular celebs like Hrithik Roshan, Sidharth Malhotra, Salman Khan, and even Virat Kohli as Lord Rama, further fuelling online conversations and fan debates.

One user commented, "To be honest, Ranveer can better play Hanuman. His smirk, energy, everything will align with the character."

Another user commented, "Just look at pic 1..look here that's his look for BM..not edited. We don't wish him to play Prabhu Shri Ram at this age but he can definitely pull it off better."
