This is because the VFX supervisor for Dune: Part Two, Michael Grobe, has been hired to work on the visual effects of Ramayana and considering the company’s achievements so far, it looks like audiences would get a different kind of experience on the big screen.
Ramayana is one of the most-awaited films and the producers have maintained a lot of secrecy without revealing much about where the film’s making has progressed so far.
Only a few stills have gone viral on the internet so far and for now, the current situation hints that no one would be disappointed compared to how things were when Adipurush was released.
However, the big question that remains is whether Ramayana will emerge as a mega blockbuster when it arrives on the big screen.
