Ranbir Kapoor’s first look as Lord Ram from Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming film “Ramayana” has drawn appreciation from Moti Sagar, son of legendary TV series creator Ramanand Sagar. Moti Sagar expressed optimism about the film while dismissing comparisons with the iconic 1987 “Ramayan” television series, noting that the two projects differ in format, storytelling, and medium. The first teaser of the film was unveiled last week on Hanuman Jayanti, offering audiences a glimpse of Kapoor’s portrayal of Lord Ram and the visual scale of the movie. Backed by producer Namit Malhotra, the project is being widely anticipated as a cinematic retelling of the epic. While the teaser has generated excitement among fans, reactions have been mixed. Many viewers have praised the grandeur, performances, and cinematic presentation, while others have expressed concerns over certain special effects, calling for higher visual finesse. Moti Sagar, however, urged audiences to view the film on its own merits. “Expecting something very good from ‘Ramayana’,” he remarked, adding that cinematic adaptations naturally differ from television series in terms of scale, production style, and narrative approach. The film is shaping up to be a major release, blending mythology with contemporary filmmaking techniques. With Ranbir Kapoor in the lead, the project is expected to attract both long-time fans of the epic and new audiences, offering a fresh perspective on the story of Lord Ram for the big screen.
