VFX Experts Defend 'Ramayana' Amid Online Criticism

VFX supervisors Yashoda Parthasarthy and Vijesh Rajan have publicly defended the upcoming film 'Ramayana' following online backlash regarding its visual effects. The duo, known for their work on projects like 'Sacred Games', argue that the film represents a significant opportunity for Indian cinema to reach a wider global audience.

Rajan suggested that while constructive criticism is valid, the current level of trolling appears to be a targeted campaign against the movie. He noted that the film is being produced on a massive scale with international collaborations, which he believes warrants support from the Indian public.

Parthasarthy addressed comparisons between Indian films and high-budget Marvel productions, noting that the latter often operate with significantly larger financial resources. She urged audiences to show more empathy toward the thousands of artists who contribute to the complex process of creating photorealistic visual effects.

Beyond their defense of the film, the supervisors are preparing for the release of their own short film, 'Aakhri Ride'. The project, which features actors Chandan Roy and Aamir Dalvi, is scheduled for a Halloween release on YouTube.
