NDTV explores the visual‑effects work that powers Nitesh Tiwari's mythological series Ramayana, highlighting its ambition to meet global standards.
The new series Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, relies heavily on state‑of‑the‑art visual effects to bring ancient Indian mythology to a worldwide audience. According to NDTV, the production team partnered with leading VFX studios to recreate iconic locations such as Ayodhya, Lanka and the celestial realms using high‑resolution CGI.
The visual‑effects process involved extensive motion‑capture, digital set extensions and realistic particle simulations to depict battles, divine weapons and supernatural phenomena. By employing these techniques, the creators aim to match the production values of contemporary global fantasy epics while retaining cultural authenticity.
Industry observers note that the series reflects a broader shift in Indian entertainment, where mythological storytelling is being packaged with technology‑driven aesthetics to attract both domestic viewers and international streaming platforms.
The VFX work, still under post‑production, is expected to be a key selling point when the series launches later this year, positioning Ramayana as a benchmark for future Indian mythological projects.
