MUMBAI: Going by its history of showcasing shows featuring strong, empowered and inspirational women, Star Plus is all set to launch the classic mythological tale of Ram and Sita, albeit from Sita’s perspective.

The show titled Siya Ke Ram, will offer viewers a fresh perspective on Ramayan.

“Star Plus wants to present Sita as a multi-faceted woman with a mind of her own who was Ram’s ardhangini in the true sense of the word, thus making her relatable to every woman of today. Sita continues to be relevant to this day and we want to pay tribute to the modern Indian woman by presenting Sita’s inspiring story,” said a channel spokesperson.

The first look of the show encapsulates the scale and grandeur of the epic, while highlighting the key differentiator of a Sita who has a point of view.

Siya Ke Ram has been conceptualised by Aniruddh Pathak, who brought Lord Shiva’s legend to TV through Mahadev.

The story has been envisioned and created by some well-known writers  namely - the best-selling author of Asura and Ajaya, Anand Neelakantan and Subrat Sinha – along with creative consultant Devdutt Pattanaik.

Post Mahadev, Triangle Film Company will also be producing Siya Ke Ram for Star Plus.
