Shiv Sagar, the grandson of iconic filmmaker Ramanand Sagar, made a noteworthy appearance at the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa.

This rendition seeks to reconnect viewers with the beloved narrative, much like the original 'Ramayana' series directed by Ramanand Sagar in the late 1980s, which enjoyed great popularity and acclaim.
