Nitesh Tiwari’s highly anticipated Ramayana has once again become a major talking point online, but this time the buzz is not around its grand visuals, Ranbir Kapoor’s Lord Ram or Yash’s Ravana. A fan-made Punjabi version of the film’s trailer has taken social media by storm, just days after a Bhojpuri fan-made version generated similar excitement.
The Punjabi trailer uses the original footage from Ramayana but replaces the actors’ dialogues with Punjabi voices. The unusual reimagining has left social media users amused, while some fans have even started joking about which Indian language could be next.
One reaction that particularly caught attention read, “Next Gujarati aayega.” Another social media user described the phenomenon as something they had never seen with another movie.
Ramayana’s Punjabi Fan-Made Trailer Takes Over Social Media
The fan-made Punjabi trailer retains the visuals audiences have already seen in the official Ramayana promotional material.
However, the dialogue delivery has been recreated in Punjabi, giving Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash’s characters an entirely different flavour.
The clip quickly attracted attention because of the contrast between the film’s epic mythology-driven visuals and the regional-language treatment. The response also comes at a time when anticipation around Ramayana is already extremely high.
The Punjabi version follows a similar Bhojpuri fan-made trailer that recently went viral online. That version prompted fans to discuss the possibility of seeing the epic officially dubbed into Bhojpuri, with some viewers even hoping to hear popular Bhojpuri voices associated with the film.
‘Next Gujarati Aayega’: Netizens React To The Viral Trailer
The Punjabi fan-made trailer has sparked a wave of humorous reactions across social media.
One user wrote, “Next Gujarati aayega,” suggesting that another regional-language version could soon appear online.
Another reaction highlighted the unusual scale of the trend, with a user saying they had “never seen such a thing with any other movie.”
The reactions indicate that the fan-made versions are becoming more than simple internet edits. They are also showing how audiences across different linguistic regions are engaging with one of the most ambitious Indian films currently in production.
The Punjabi and Bhojpuri versions are unofficial, however, and should not be confused with the film’s official language releases.
Is Ramayana Releasing In Punjabi?
At present, there is no official confirmation that Ramayana will receive a Punjabi theatrical release.
The film has been promoted as a multilingual project, with the official trailer released in multiple Indian languages. The makers have also released an English version aimed at international audiences, with the principal cast contributing their own voices to the English trailer.
Reports have also indicated plans to take the film beyond Indian-language markets, with Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish versions being discussed.
The emergence of fan-made Punjabi and Bhojpuri trailers could nevertheless be viewed as an interesting indicator of the wider curiosity surrounding the film.
Ramayana Trailer Introduced Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi And Yash
The official Ramayana: Part 1 trailer was unveiled globally in July and offered the first extensive look at the film’s central characters and its massive visual world.
Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi portrays Sita, while Yash takes on the role of Ravana. The cast also includes Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana.
Yash’s portrayal of Ravana emerged as one of the biggest talking points following the trailer release. His imposing appearance and intense screen presence generated considerable discussion among viewers.
Ranbir Kapoor’s transformation into Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi’s portrayal of Sita also became major points of conversation online.
Yash’s Ravana Continues To Generate Buzz
Among the three central characters showcased in the trailer, Yash’s Ravana has arguably created some of the strongest online reactions.
The trailer opens with an imposing introduction to the character before expanding into the larger conflict between Rama and Ravana.
The visual scale of the film has also become a major talking point. The makers are attempting to mount the Ramayana as a global cinematic event, combining Indian mythology with large-scale production design and visual effects.
The film is being produced by Namit Malhotra, with Prime Focus Studios and DNEG involved in the ambitious project.
Ramayana To Release In Two Parts
Ramayana is being planned as a two-part cinematic saga.
The first part is scheduled to arrive in theatres during Diwali 2026, while the second instalment is expected to follow during Diwali 2027.
The scale of the project has positioned it as one of the biggest Indian cinematic productions currently being developed for a global audience.
The makers are also looking beyond the traditional Indian diaspora market, with the project being positioned to introduce the story and its characters to audiences worldwide.
Why The Fan-Made Versions Matter
The sudden popularity of the Bhojpuri and Punjabi fan-made trailers highlights the strong regional connection audiences have with the Ramayana.
The epic has existed across languages and cultures for generations, with different regions developing their own interpretations, performances and storytelling traditions.
Social media has now created another way for audiences to express that connection.
Instead of waiting for official regional versions, fans are creating their own adaptations and sharing them online. The fact that these versions are generating widespread reactions even before the film’s theatrical release demonstrates the enormous curiosity surrounding the project.
For the makers, the trend could also provide an interesting indication of the potential demand for the film across different linguistic markets.

Until then, the viral Punjabi and Bhojpuri fan-made trailers are giving fans another reason to keep Ramayana trending online.
