<h2>Different styles, different expectations</h2><p>Roshan highlighted that VFX is not a one-size-fits-all approach. According to him, "it takes thousands of our artistes working round the clock for multiple years to bring vfx heavy films to life so the least we can do is bash them with some better awareness!"</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He suggests that bad VFX is if a film aiming for photorealism must maintain consistency in physics and detail, while a stylised or "storybook" approach should be judged on its artistic appeal rather than realism. and "you can't criticize the maker just cause he has chosen one style while you prefer another style. That's not fair."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/from-garage-startup-to-rs-9-204-crore-net-worth-the-man-behind-ranbir-kapoor-s-ramayana-1775225396110"><strong>Garage startup to Rs 9,204 cr net worth: The man behind Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Connecting it with his early fascination with cinema, particularly after watching Back to the Future, he said, "I would sit with my dad's VHS player studying the frames pause -play pause-play until I broke the player." He stressed that "filmmakers of projects like Kalki, Bahubali, Ramayana have the guts and vision to do what's never been done," so that the audience can "get to experience something never watched before," and the intention by itself "deserves applause!"
