Hrithik Roshan on Ramayana teaser trolls. Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi's Ramayana directed by Nitish Tiwari has been the cynosure of all eyes ever since its announcement.
The makers released the teaser recently and while the fans of Ranbir Kapoor loved it, netizens trolled it mercilessly branding the VFX as of poor quality and even video games have better VFX.
In the meantime, Hrithik Roshan shared his thoughts on it., "Yes, bad VFX exists. It's sometimes so bad it's painful to watch. Especially for me… and especially when it's a film I'm part of. As an 11-year-old kid, I saw Back to the Future on a trip to London, and it changed me forever. I became obsessed.”
He continued "Bad vfx is if the movie promises ‘photorealism' but is unable to inhabit it fully. Even a small lapse in physics/gravity can then destroy the entire illusion. Or the promise is of storybook style, but they fail in making it beautiful enough or artistic enough or divine enough, and so fail to engage. But to say that the storybook style is not looking photorealistic – isn't fair. Cause it's not meant to be." .
He concluded "You can't criticise the maker just cause he has chosen one style while you prefer another style. That's not fair. So sometimes when you say “bad VFX.” Maybe it's just a style you didn't expect. So next time, don't just ask, “Is it real?” First ask, “Is it right for the story?” "Is it making me feel what the maker intended?" Debate it. But debate it with awareness."
Ramayana is set to release on Diwali 2026, followed by a second part in Diwali 2027.
