Ranbir Kapoor addresses online criticism of the visual effects in his film, Ramayana, defending the CGI used in the production. He says some viewers assume the effects are simply the result of AI or shortcuts, rather than the work of artists.
The controversy reflects broader public scrutiny of visual effects as audiences increasingly question how CGI is made in the current AI era. NDTV and The Express Tribune both report Kapoor’s remarks that the visual work involves significant effort and time, emphasizing that the film’s effects are not treated as a one-click substitute but as a craft developed over years.
While both outlets focus on the same core response, the framing differs slightly: NDTV highlights the idea that people think someone has “just used AI,” while The Express Tribune emphasizes the growing scrutiny of CGI in cinema. In both accounts, Kapoor positions the defense around the time and labor invested in the film’s visual effects.
