Remember Paresh Rawal screaming ‘Teja main hoon, mark idhar hai’ in Andaz Apna Apna (1994)? Saket Patel, one of the junior artistes in Ramayana: Part 1, went through something similar, telling the internet, “Yeh character main hoon, turban idhar hai.”

In a sequence from Ramayana’s teaser that shows Ranbir Kapoor flanked by large crowds, eagle-eyed fans spotted that a character’s turban changed colour from blue to purple as the shot transitioned from wide to close-up. That was enough for the internet to declare that the crowd was AI-generated.
