Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi's Ramayana has captured the nation's anticipation. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, filming for this mythological epic is already underway, with behind-the-scenes glimpses of the actors in their roles as Lord Ram and Goddess Sita causing a stir on social media. The buzz surrounding Ranbir’s portrayal in Ramayana continues to grow, marking it as one of the most eagerly awaited films. Adding to the discourse, Amrit Sagar, grandson of Ramanand Sagar, has shared his thoughts on the project. Ramanand Sagar's legendary Ramayan, featuring Arun Govil as Lord Ram back in 1987, remains the benchmark for adaptations of this timeless saga. During an interview, Amrit Sagar shared his thoughts about the remake of Ramayan. Ramayana: Ranbir Kapoor-Sai Pallavi Starrer Becomes Costliest Indian Film; Nitesh Tiwari's Directorial To Have Rs 835 Crore Budget – Reports.

According to News18, in a recent interview, Amrit Sagar commented on Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana and urged everyone to create films/shows based on the Hindu mythological epic “honestly”. “I feel that Ramayan should be made by everybody, why not? Nobody has a copyright on Ramayan. My only thing with that is do it honestly. Don’t try and make the Ramayan like ‘Now I will make the Ramayan through this person’s perspective, or that person’s perspective. Ramayan is not that. It is the story of Ram, that is why it is titled Ramayan,” he told Indian Express and then added, “Ramleelas have been happening in this country for centuries. And they follow the story completely.” Amrit Sagar’s comments highlight the ongoing debate surrounding adaptations of the Ramayana and the importance of staying true to its core narrative while exploring diverse interpretations. Ramayana: Yash Joins As Co-Producer for Ranbir Kapoor–Nitesh Tiwari’s Film!.
