The upcoming mythological magnum opus Ramayan has consistently remained one of the most anticipated cinematic ventures in the global film industry. However, following the recent launch of its official trailer, the project became a major talking point across social media platforms, sparking intense online debates regarding its CGI and visual effects. Amid mounting public critique, lead actor Ranbir Kapoor—who portrays Lord Ram in the ambitious multi-thousand-crore project—has finally broken his silence to address the backlash and give a strong response to online trolls.
Addressing the Rise of Self-Taught 'CG Critics'
In a recent interview with Collider, Ranbir Kapoor opened up about the heavy scrutiny surrounding the staggering ₹4,000 crore budget production. He noted that public awareness regarding digital media has shifted dramatically in recent years, particularly with the rapid evolution and widespread accessibility of artificial intelligence tools.
According to the actor, audiences today immediately form vocal opinions the moment a promotional trailer drops. He observed that a noticeable digital trend has emerged where a vast number of internet users instantly set themselves up as online CGI critics, dismissing visual effects as subpar or unfinished without understanding the scale of technical execution.
Debunking Misconceptions About AI and Digital Artists
Ranbir didn't hold back when pointing out the lack of technical knowledge among armchair critics who mistake complex computer-generated imagery for simplistic automated outputs. He humorously remarked that it often feels amusing to witness individuals who have zero background in visual effects making sweeping judgments, assuming that filmmakers simply press a button or use basic AI to generate scenes.
Highlighting the immense human effort involved, the actor stressed that world-class visual effects require countless hours of grueling labor, with specialized artists and technicians dedicating years of their lives to perfect single sequences. He praised the meticulous oversight of director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra, who have closely supervised the film’s post-production to ensure a realistic cinematic spectacle, acknowledging that meeting modern audience expectations with realistic CGI remains a massive creative challenge.
