A content creator who visited the sets of Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming epic Ramayana has now made an explosive claim, purportedly after speaking to crew members. Dhruv Parikshit, who makes videos on films and cinema, recently visited the Ramayana sets, and later claimed that the film’s makers released a ‘nerfed’ version of Ranbir Kapoor’s Lord Rama glimpse to start discussions and debates for ‘free marketing’.
Earlier this week, the makers of Ramayana held a creators’ day on the film’s sets. A number of content creators visited the sets and met the director Nitesh Tiwari, producer Namit Malhotra, and actors Yash and Ranbir Kapoor. Dhruv, who was one of the attendees, first shared a bunch of pictures on his Instagram and then videos of his experience on Wednesday. In the comments section of one of the videos, he was asked about the VFX work and whether it was incomplete. He replied, “Yes, it was incomplete. But the vision they have, I genuinely can’t put it into words. The scenes I witnessed there were on the level of Avatar. I’m not exaggerating, they’re truly cooking something wonderful. The character designs and the world of Ramayana feel incredibly immersive.”
The creator then added, “I also got a chance to talk to one of their VFX artists. He told me that the creators deliberately uploaded a nerfed version of the Rama glimpse. They had better versions of those scenes, yet they intentionally chose to release the incomplete one. Why? Because discussions and criticism across the internet translate into free marketing.”
However, by Thursday, Dhruv had deleted his reply to the original comment and added another in its place.
