About Ramayana
Ramayana is Namit Malhotra's ambitious two-part retelling of the Indian epic, envisioned on a grand scale for audiences worldwide. While Ranbir headlines the project, Yash plays the role of evil king Ravana. The star-studded cast also includes Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Arun Govil as Dasharath and Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, among others.
The film has created major buzz, however, its trailer had sparked mixed responses, particularly regarding its VFX. In an interview, Ranbir addressed the backlash and said that conversations around Artificial Intelligence have grown considerably in recent years, with many people on social media increasingly scrutinising computer-generated imagery. The actor added that some viewers tend to assume that CGI-heavy visuals are created using AI without understanding the extensive work involved in producing them.
Ranbir also explained that visual effects require years of effort from artists and technicians. He spoke about witnessing director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra closely involved in VFX discussions since the project began, right down to decisions such as getting the colour of the sky right. According to Ranbir, creating convincing and authentic CGI has become challenging because audiences have become increasingly difficult to impress.
The two-part saga is reportedly being made on a Rs 4,000 crore budget. Part One - The Introduction is set to release this Diwali.
