It has been officially confirmed now. Ramanand Sagar's mythological show Ramayan will be re-aired on Doordarshan, considering that there is a shortage of fresh content and episodes to telecast. A few days back, we had reported about how Colors has begun re-airing Bigg Boss 13 to compensate for lack of content on the channel because of the abrupt halting of television shows. This was followed by news of how other channels like Star Plus, Zee TV, Sony TV will also be airing their OTT shows on the tube in the wake of the lockdown and lack of episode banks. However, old episodes of The Kapil Sharma Show will be re-aired. COVID-19 Lockdown: Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan and BR Chopra's Mahabharat To Re-Run On Television.

Initially not sure about the success of the show, the channel had apparently not invested much into it, but the show went on to become a rage with the masses, eventually profiting Doordarshan like never before.
