Mumbai (Maharashtra):After being trolled for 'bad VFX', Ajay Devgn's company NY VFXwala has clarified that it has not done the VFX for Adipurush. Director Om Raut made the film with the dream of bringing the story of Ramayana to the silver screen but ever since the first teaser of Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan and Kriti Sanon-starrer Adipurush dropped recently, there has been a unanimously negative response from various quarters.

The highly anticipated teaser of the Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan-starrer Adipurush was unveiled in Ayodhya recently, in line with the film's theme of the Ramayan. Although the teaser has managed to create a buzz around the film, the cost at which it has done so is something that might worry the makers. The film's teaser is being mercilessly trolled on social media by the netizens.

People have largely been disappointed due to the film's poor VFX and the unrealistic look of various characters including Saif's Raavan. Seeing Saif donning short spiked hairs, long beard and kajal eyes, several netizens have compared the actor's look in the film with that of Alauddin Khilji rather than Raavana.

The credit slate at the end of the film teaser mentioned the name of one of the producers and VFX supervisor, Prasad Sutar, who is the co-founder of the famous VFX company, NY VFXwaala launched by Ajay Devgn. Ajay serves as the Founder and Chairman of NY VFX Waala.
