Ramanand Sagar’s show Ramayan is all set to air on television once again. The popular series is often treated as the benchmark for the many shows and films that have been made on the mythological epic Ramayan. Shemaroo TV took to its social media handles to announce the rerun of the show and shared a small clip from one of the episodes.
Om Raut’s Adipurush, based on Ramayan, has been receiving a lot of criticism and amid that controversy, Ramanand’s show has frequently been quoted as being one of the best shows made on the story of Ramayan.
Ramayan will start airing on Shemaroo TV from July 3.
Starring Arun Govil as Lord Ram, the show first started airing on Doordarshan in 1987. During the Covid-induced lockdown, when film and television shoots were put on hold, the series aired again and received a lot of appreciation.
Arun Govil has also been vocal about his criticism towards Adipurush. In an interview with CNN News18, the actor said one should not tamper with subjects that can be “sensitive” for people. He asked what was the need to “fool around” with the text of the scripture. He said, “What I believe is that we should not fool around or we should not take liberties with God. We are very sensitive people, Indians are very sensitive people about their religion, as others are. We Hindus are very sensitive. Other religions are also very sensitive (but) nobody does anything there with other religions. Why? Why us only? Why are they experimenting? What do they want to say?”
The actor added, “Why do they want to fool around? Why do they want to bring new, new things, to try new things? Leave us alone. Why do you want to touch God in this fashion so please don’t do that. And what was the need for it? There are so many other subjects. Do your creative liberty there. What do you want to prove by doing this kind of thing?”
