Ramanand Sagar’s Grandson Shiv Sagar Celebrates Kaakbhushundi Ramayan’s Presence at IFFI
Shiv Sagar, the grandson of legendary filmmaker Ramanand Sagar, marked a significant moment at the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa on Wednesday evening. Accompanied by the cast of his latest show, Kaakbhushundi Ramayan, Shiv brought the timeless essence of the epic saga to the festival as the team walked the red carpet.

Kaakbhushundi Ramayan, which airs on Doordarshan every evening at 7:30 pm with a repeat telecast at 10 am, blends high-tech VFX and music to present a culturally rich experience enhanced by superior technology. Titled Kaakbhushundi Ramayan - Untold Stories, the show is produced by Sagar World Multimedia.

Sharing his excitement about the experience, Shiv said, “The experience at IFFI was surreal. Walking the red carpet with the cast of the show and in their costumes felt like out of a dream because we received so much appreciation for our craft. All our characters got so much love, and it was wonderful to get so much infectious warmth.”

The series is spearheaded by creative director and producer Shiv Sagar, who carries forward the legacy of his grandfather, the late Dr. Ramanand Sagar. Back in 1987, Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan captivated millions of viewers worldwide, at a time when Indian television was in its infancy. The series remains one of the most iconic shows in Indian television history, boasting an estimated global viewership of over a billion people. Since its first telecast on January 25, 1987, Ramayan has been broadcast in over 65 countries and continues to enthrall audiences to this day.

Under Shiv Sagar’s leadership, Sagar World Multimedia remains committed to creating impactful and meaningful content. Shiv’s father, Prem Sagar, who was the marketing director of Sagar Arts and an award-winning cinematographer, directed the iconic series Vikram Aur Betal in 1985. This award-winning series paved the way for Ramayan, serving as a precursor and test-marketing effort for a genre that was largely unexplored at the time.
