Hrithik Roshan Defends 'Ramayana' VFX, Addresses 'War 2' Criticisms

Hrithik Roshan has publicly supported the makers of the upcoming film 'Ramayana' concerning its visual effects (VFX). He shared a lengthy note on Instagram, expressing admiration for filmmakers who take risks to create novel cinematic experiences for audiences.

Responding to fan interactions, Roshan addressed questions about his film 'War 2.' He admitted that 'War 2' encountered physics and gravity issues, attributing this partly to time limitations, while stating 'War 1' was "spectacularly perfect." He also described the VFX in 'Fighter' as "very photorealistic."

Roshan's stance highlights his appreciation for ambitious filmmaking, citing 'Kalki,' 'Bahubali,' and 'Ramayana' as examples of heroic efforts in the industry. He views these endeavors as noble pursuits, driven by a passion for cinema that aims to inspire younger generations.

'War 2,' directed by Ayan Mukerji and featuring Jr NTR, was released in theaters in August 2025. Despite its star cast and franchise association, the film faced criticism for its VFX, CGI, and storyline, failing to meet box office expectations. Meanwhile, Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana' is scheduled for a worldwide release in October 2026, preceding the Diwali festive season.
