I have a tea to spill directly from Team at #Ramayana and it’s mix of both; hope for a genuinely good product and a mess through which it’s going. The teaser VFX that went out was apparently pushed in a rushed state, with only around 50% of the work actually complete. It wasn’t really meant to represent the full vision… more like an early glimpse that went out before things were fully ready. At the moment, the core teams working on Part 1 are under serious pressure, with a hard deadline set for September 2026. The workload is intense, and there have been a few internal shifts and course corrections (some cost control measures too) along the way, which have naturally added to the complexity. Another thing I’m hearing is that the creative vision is still evolving in certain areas. Even at later stages, some visual directions are being revisited and refined, which means teams are having to rework portions that were close to completion. It’s not unusual on projects of this scale… but it does add to the pressure and slows things down. And yet, despite all this, there’s a very strong positive underneath. The work that’s actually completed is said to be genuinely impressive. The finished portions are looking really solid, and internally, there’s a lot of belief in what’s coming together. In fact, the sense is that what we’ve seen so far barely scratches the surface… not even close. The real scale and quality are still largely under wraps. Different teams are handling different segments in parallel, with Part 1 in full swing and early work already underway on Part 2. Some major portions, including key character and large-scale sequences, are being developed separately and haven’t been revealed yet. So yeah… it’s demanding, a bit unpredictable at times. But there’s also a clear feeling that something special is still taking shape behind the scenes.

That PR agency has clearly shown bias in promoting #Varanasi over #Ramayana right from the start. #RanbirKapoor #MaheshBabu #SSRajamouli #NiteshTiwari For Varanasi, they flew media from multiple states, taking care of flights and accommodation. But for Ramayana, selective media was invited just a night before to interact with #RanbirKapoor and the team. As a result, those who didn’t get access ended up forming negative opinions. — For Varanasi, multiple media interactions have been organised. For Ramayana, #NamitMalhotra has been sent to random podcasts and news conclaves, often without proper briefing on what should or shouldn’t be said. — For Varanasi, every negative point has been addressed smartly, even concerns like poor anchoring at the main event were handled well. But for Ramayana, random clips and misleading headlines are being allowed to circulate without any clarification.
