Summary
- Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta criticized boastful VFX company claims.
- Netizens compared 'Ramayana' teaser to 'Adipurush' due to VFX.
- The film has a massive Rs 4000 crore budget and a dual release.
Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta has voiced criticism regarding the promotion of the upcoming 'Ramayana' film, starring Ranbir Kapoor. His comments, made via his social media account, specifically target the emphasis placed on the visual effects (VFX) giant DNEG, which worked on the project. Gupta clarified that it is the individual technicians who earn Oscars, not the companies themselves, referencing DNEG's Academy Award win for their work on 'Dune: Part Two.'
Following the release of the first teaser for 'Ramayana,' a segment of the audience expressed disappointment with the visual effects. These reactions led to comparisons with the highly criticized 'Adipurush,' with some viewers deeming the VFX as underwhelming and resembling AI-generated imagery. The film is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and features a star-studded cast including Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita.
Adding to its grandeur, 'Ramayana' boasts an estimated budget of Rs 4000 crore. The film's music is being composed by acclaimed artists Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman. It is slated for a staggered release, with the first part hitting cinemas on Diwali of this year and the second installment planned for Diwali in 2027.
