Ranbir Kapoor Claps Back At 'CGI Critics' Slamming Ramayana VFX: 'It’s Tricky Trying To Impress Audience...'

Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is among the most-awaited movies of the year. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Mata Sita and Yash as Raavana. Recently, makers unveiled the trailer of Ramayana, which instantly became a talking point with viewers divided over its visuals and VFX.

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor has called out ‘CGI critics’ for criticising Ramayana’s VFX. In an interview with Collider, Ranbir said, "There has been a phenomenon right now. In the last few years, there are such a large number of people who have become these CG critics."

"They see the trailer, and they are always critiquing that it’s not good enough or it’s seemingly not done. So I think people are getting more aware, especially with the influx of AI. People are getting more interested in how good the CGI is and how good the CGI will finally look once the film releases," he further added.

Ranbir continued, "I think it’s quite funny sometimes because people who know how CG is done think like someone’s just used some AI and released something. You know, there are countless hours of work where artists are working for years."

"I have seen Nitesh sir and Namit sitting on VFX calls ever since this project started, trying to get even a certain colour of the sky right. I think it’s tricky right now trying to impress the audience with authentic CGI," he said.
