Key Takeaways
Mumbai, April 7 (NationPress) Producer Namit Malhotra has addressed the backlash regarding his forthcoming film 'Ramayana'. On Tuesday, he took to social media to share a message, reassuring viewers that the production team is diligently working to resolve the VFX challenges.
He expressed, “Dear everyone, the feedback we've received in recent days has been nothing short of overwhelming, inspiring, and humbling. Witnessing how our Rama resonates with hearts globally fills me with profound humility and happiness. I value all the discussions, enthusiasm, and insights shared. This story is deeply ingrained in the souls of billions and merits our highest regard.”

“The countless artists and collaborators are tirelessly devoted and are excited to ensure that we deliver excellence in every aspect. We are actively listening, working hard, and investing every effort into honoring the reverence this story commands,” he added.
'Ramayana', featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol, and Ravi Dubey, faced criticism on social media due to subpar VFX in specific scenes showcased in the initial look of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram. The VFX is being handled by Namit’s award-winning studio, DNEG. Online responses were strong, with many joking that Malhotra utilized AI tools for the VFX, questioning the authenticity of his reported budget.
The film is helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, with music composed by A. R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer, marking a remarkable collaboration across industries.
'Ramayana' is slated for release later this year.
