AI Reimagined Ramayana series goes viral after trailer release; here’s what social media is saying

The 'Ramayana' has long been a cornerstone of Indian mythology. But what if it’s being reimagined through Artificial Intelligence? Yes, that’s right! Mumbai-based Cinefai Studios recently unveiled the trailer for their newest venture, ‘Ramayana’ — an episodic series entirely created using advanced AI technology.

Film critic Taran Adarsh shared the trailer on X, also noting that the first episode is already available. The trailer presents a visually captivating retelling of the legendary story of Ram and Sita, using next-gen visual techniques. Viewers can watch it on the studio’s official Instagram and YouTube channels.



The trailer has sparked a wave of reactions on social media. One user wrote, "This is really mesmerising (sic)." Another commented, "AI influence is going to be epic in coming times (sic)," while a third said, "Next level VFX (sic)."

The creators have utilized AI tools to craft realistic visuals and detailed character designs, achieving a high-quality look with fewer resources than traditional methods. However, it remains to be seen whether this tech-driven adaptation can retain the emotional and cultural depth of Valmiki’s original epic centered on Rama, Sita, and Hanuman.

At the same time, Bollywood is preparing a massive cinematic version of the ‘Ramayana’, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. This big-budget film, split into two parts, is being produced with a staggering budget of over ₹4,000 crore. It will reportedly use extensive VFX and incorporate AI-generated dubbing technology.

The cast includes Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and more. The first part is expected to release during Diwali 2026, with the second following in 2027.
