The series is an amalgamation of advanced techniques, mega scale of production, impressive music and discovering some facts that we have been unaware of.”
The series is helmed by creative director and producer Shiv Sagar, the grandson of the late Dr. Ramanand Sagar, who brought the epic to life in 1987, captivating millions of hearts worldwide. At a time when television was in its nascent stages in India, Ramanand Sagar’s “Ramayan” became the most-watched television series, with an estimated viewership of over a billion people globally. It has been broadcast in over 65 countries and has remained on-air since its first telecast on 25th January 1987.
Sagar World Multimedia, headed by Shiv Sagar, continues the legacy of creating impactful content. Shiv Sagar’s father, Prem Sagar, who was the marketing director of Sagar Arts and an award-winning cinematographer, directed the award-winning series “Vikram Aur Betal” in 1985. This series became the precursor to “Ramayan,” serving as a test-marketing effort for this new genre, which was non-existent at the time.
