Director Nitesh Tiwari has clarified that artificial intelligence was used only for lip syncing in Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, to help synchronise dubbed dialogue with actors' mouth movements across languages. He emphasized that all voices were provided by dubbing artists and AI played no role in altering performances or generating voices. The comments were made during the film's premiere on October 27, 2026, at the David Geffen Theater inside the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.
The premiere was attended by Nitesh Tiwari, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi and producer Namit Malhotra. The film, featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, is set for worldwide release on November 5, 2026. It is the first part of a two-part epic produced by Prime Focus Studios, DNEG and Monster Mind Creations, with a combined budget estimated at $500 million. The second part is expected in 2028, potentially delayed from Diwali 2027.
