Actor Ranbir Kapoor has told fans not to judge the CG visuals of his upcoming epic Ramayana by the teaser of the movie because its production was extensive. Speaking to reporters, Ranbir spoke on the trend of people previewing and debating VFX, which should be consumed in theaters.
Ranbir Says VFX Critics Often Miss the Process
The Internet has created a whole new class of people “CG critics”; showcasing very detailed attention provided to visual effects after premiering of the trailers and teaser, said Ranbir. He pointed out audiences are more interested in computer generated imagery going with Artificial Intelligence.
But comments the actor made are available that many may not know of the extensive work that must be done to create quality visual effects. Ranbir says it can take years for artists to work on each sequence, and filmmakers / producers play close to their scripts.
Ramayana VFX Took Years to Complete
Director Nitesh Tiwari also spoke about the scale of the VFX work which was done in the making of Ramayana. The film’s director has stated that the producers are still in the “last six months of finishing”, according to one of the sequences which reportedly took nearly three years.
Because so much of the project has been undertaken at such a huge scale, the team has had to constantly adjust individual scenes and visuals, in order to make sure that the finished film will have the desired appearance. Ranbir also remembered spending endless hours with Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra discussing VFX in detail with them and even making the sky colour and appearance of the sky a part of that conversation.
Namit Malhotra speaks to IMAX 3D Response
Director Namit Malhotra spoke about the reactions garnered for the earlier teaser of the movie online.Director Namit Malhotra said a word on the reactions to the earlier teaser of the movie online. The first reaction he received was very different when he played a portion of the footage to an audience in a large-scale, IMAX 3D screen,” he said.
The comments are made when there is a lot of anticipation for Ramayana, which is being staged on a huge scale with lots of VFX. Ranbir’s advice to viewers is simply to wait for the final product and watch the film in theaters before making conclusions about its ‘magic’.
