Shiv Sagar, the grandson of the iconic filmmaker Ramanand Sagar, made his mark at the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, where he proudly showcased his latest project, Kaakbhushandi Ramayan. The series, which aired on Doordarshan starting Monday at 7:30 PM, was celebrated with the presence of its cast, as they graced the red carpet at the prestigious event on Wednesday evening.
Kaakbhushandi Ramayan blends cutting-edge VFX technology with traditional music to offer a fresh, culturally rich experience for viewers. The series, titled Kaakbhushundi Ramayan – Untold Stories, is produced by Sagar World Multimedia, continuing the legacy of the Sagar family in bringing epic tales to life. The show airs its repeat telecast daily at 10 AM.
Shiv Sagar expressed his excitement about participating in the IFFI festivities. “The experience at IFFI was surreal. Walking the red carpet with the cast in their costumes felt like a dream. We received so much appreciation for our craft, and the love for our characters was overwhelming. It was a moment of infectious warmth that I will cherish,” he said.
The creative mind behind Kaakbhushandi Ramayan is none other than Shiv Sagar, who also serves as the producer. He is carrying forward the legacy of his legendary grandfather, Dr. Ramanand Sagar, who redefined Indian television with the 1987 airing of Ramayan. This iconic series captivated millions worldwide, drawing an estimated global viewership of over a billion. It was broadcast in more than 65 countries and remains a cultural milestone.
Sagar World Multimedia, led by Shiv Sagar, continues to create impactful content that resonates with audiences across generations. The Sagar family’s contribution to Indian television began with Shiv’s father, Prem Sagar, who directed the award-winning series Vikram Aur Betal in 1985. This series is considered a precursor to Ramayan, serving as a test-marketing effort for the historical and mythological genre that was then unexplored in Indian television.
As Kaakbhushandi Ramayan receives widespread acclaim, Shiv Sagar and his team are proud to be part of this exciting new chapter in their family’s legacy, once again bringing the timeless tales of the Ramayan to life for new generations of viewers.
