Namit Malhotra Reacts to Ramayana VFX Criticism Says Were Listening Closely

Taking to social media, Namit wrote, “Dear all, The response over the past few days has truly been overwhelming, inspiring, and humbling. Seeing how our Rama continues to touch so many hearts across the world fills me with deep humility and joy. I cherish all of the conversations, the excitement, and feedback. This is a story etched in the souls of billions and deserves our utmost care. The many thousands of artists and collaborators who have been working away passionately are enthusiastic and energised to get out there and continue to deliver the absolute best in every department.”

He further added, “We’re listening closely, working diligently, and pouring every effort possible into honouring it with the reverence it holds. This is our Ramayana. It belongs to us all, and that shared emotion and massive responsibility to make every Indian proud, is what drives me forward every single day. What you’ve seen so far is just the beginning… we are all striving to bring our epic to life this Diwali on the biggest screens to celebrate our culture and our history. Yours sincerely, Namit Malhotra.”

In the glimpse, visuals of Rama’s life in the vanavas were highlighted. He was seen battling demons, ruling his people and living up to his father Dasharatha’s expectations. The glimpse also showed Sai Pallavi as Sita and Ravie Dubey as Lakshmana. In some of the scenes, Ranbir Kapoor performs action, while embodying Rama. The first glimpse was unveiled on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti in Mumbai. The event witnessed Ranbir’s diehard fans cheering for his first look as Lord Rama.
