Ranbir Kapoor, who portrays Lord Rama, also addressed the visual effects criticism. He said, “People don’t know how CGI is done. People think that someone just used some AI and released something.” He elaborated, “There are countless hours of work where artists have been working for years. I’ve seen Nitesh sir or Namit sitting on VFX calls ever since this project started. Trying to get even a certain colour of the sky right.” He further commented, “I think it is tricky right now to impress the audience with authentic CGI.”
