Days after the teaser of Ramayana Part I starring Ranbir Kapoor was released, AI generated images of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput imagining him as Lord Ram started circulating on social media. These images quickly caught people’s attention and led to emotional reactions from fans.
Sushant’s sister, Shweta Singh Kirti, shared these pictures on her Instagram account along with a heartfelt message. She explained why seeing her brother in the form of Lord Ram made her emotional and why it connected so deeply with her.
In her note, she wrote, “Why seeing Bhai as Ram Ji stirs so many emotions? You know why?… Because the Ram Ji is just not another person… a character but what he stands for are the values… values we treasure Maryada, compassion, dignity, courage, truth and his pure love for Sita Maa. Just to keep his father’s word he had given to his wife…Ram Ji left all the worldly pleasure and went to the forest to live a life of penance… what does it prove to us? We worship and draw strength from the values these icons stand for.”
She further added, “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 nobility in his expression prove that nobody in present day and age can play Rama as beautifully as Bhai would have played it. Forever Cherished, Forever Unforgettable ❤️.”
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai apartment on June 14, 2020. While some believed it was a case of suicide, others raised concerns about possible foul play. Since then, Shweta Singh Kirti has continued to seek justice and clarity in the matter.
In 2024, she also shared a video message requesting Narendra Modi to look into the CBI investigation. She said that his involvement could help speed up the process and bring relief to those waiting for answers.
Meanwhile, the film Ramayana features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita, with Yash playing Ravana. Other actors include Sunny Deol, Ravie Dubey, Kajal Aggarwal, and Rakul Preet Singh.
Ramayana Part I is planned for release this Diwali, while the second part is expected to release on Diwali 2027.
