AI-generated images reimagining late actor Sushant Singh Rajput as Lord Ram have gone viral on social media, striking an emotional chord with his sister, Shweta Singh Kirti.Sharing the images on Instagram, Shweta opened up about why the visuals felt so powerful and deeply moving.
‘Ram Ji is not just a character, but what He stands for’
“Why does seeing Bhai as Ram Ji stir so many emotions? You know why?… Because Ram Ji is not just another person or a character, but what He stands for—those values, values we treasure: Maryada, compassion, dignity, courage, truth, and His pure love for Sita Maa. Just to keep His father’s word and His promise to His wife, Ram Ji left all worldly pleasures and went to the forest to live a life of penance. What does that prove to us? We worship and draw strength from the values these icons stand for.”She further shared how those very qualities reminded her of her brother.
‘Bhai radiates the strength of character Ram Ji embodies’
“Bhai as Rama moves us because He doesn’t only look divine and graceful, but because He radiates the strength of character that Ram Ji embodies. The innocence and purity in His eyes, and the nobility in His expression, prove that nobody in the present day and age can play Rama as beautifully as Bhai would have played Him. Forever cherished, forever unforgettable.”The AI-generated images have since sparked widespread reactions online, with many echoing similar sentiments about Sushant’s screen presence. Ramayana, backed by producer Namit Malhotra and directed by Nitesh Tiwari, features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, alongside Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Arun Govil, Kunal Kapoor, Adinath Kothare, Sheeba Chaddha, and Indira Krishnan. Mounted on a reported budget of Rs 4,000 crore, the two-part epic is slated for a Diwali release, with the second instalment expected in 2027.
