A week later, the Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash-starrer Hindi-Telugu trailer was dropped. On Thursday, the Ramayana makers unveiled the English-dubbed version of the film. While Yash and a few other cast members have their voices dubbed using AI, Ranbir Kapoor has lent his own voice and dubbed his dialogues in English, which seems to have impressed fans more than the original Hindi version.

The English trailer is aimed at Western countries and a Hollywood audience. The trailer is crisp, polished, and features AI-led lip-sync technology. The all-English dialogues might seem a little different for Hindi-speaking audiences, especially Bollywood lovers, particularly when Ranbir says "Mother Kaikeyi" and later says he will get his wife Sita.

Meanwhile, the makers have implemented Brahma AI in the Ramayana English trailer to sync the lip movements of the actors with the new English dub.

One user wrote, "That flying elephant was majestic."

Another fan commented, "Wow... Ravana's English dub is better than the original one."

"I think I'm going to love the English dub more than the original Hindi one," added someone else.

Someone else commented, "Ranbir's voice is the most accurate for sure."

Another fan wrote, "Ranbir's voice in English... that lip-sync tech is dope."
