Reactions to Srimad Ramayan teaser
Many X users mentioned Adipurush while reacting to the teaser. An X user wrote, “Fingers crossed this does justice to Shri Ram!!” Another tweeted, “Hope its not like Adipurush.” One already looked impressed with the teaser and wrote, “Better Than Adipurush.” A tweet also read: “All production houses have started to bank on emotional side of public.” A person commented, “Appreciate to team in new era we want something new #ramayan with new VFX.”
On being asked the advice he would like to give to makers of new adaptations of the Ramayana, he had said, “They should not change the base. The treatment of the Ramayana should be decent and respectful. It cannot be experimented with while making a new version. The language, the depiction of the characters and the scenes need to be in sync with the epic. The characters should be well-defined. Our show was true to the essence of Ramayana and people across religions, age groups and demographics connected with it and liked it.”
