Abhishek Bachchan Defends Raja Shivaji VFX
9 May
Summary
- Abhishek Bachchan defended Raja Shivaji's VFX quality.
- He cited budget differences between Indian and Hollywood films.
- Raja Shivaji is a successful Marathi film surpassing Rs 60 crores.
Actor Abhishek Bachchan has stepped in to defend the visual effects (VFX) of the Marathi historical drama Raja Shivaji, directed by Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh. While the film has garnered significant success, some online criticism focused on its VFX quality post-trailer release.
Bachchan emphasized that comparing Indian regional cinema's VFX to Hollywood standards is unrealistic. He explained that VFX quality is directly proportional to the time and money invested, and Raja Shivaji was produced within a considerably smaller budget.
He further elaborated that Hollywood productions often allocate budgets of thousands of crores solely for VFX, a scale incomparable to what Indian films, especially regional ones, can manage. This disparity makes direct competition or comparison unfair.
Despite the online discussions regarding its visual effects, Raja Shivaji has been praised for its storytelling, performances, and overall scale. The film has reportedly achieved a major milestone, becoming the fourth Marathi film to surpass Rs 60 crores at the box office.
