Star Plus has always stood for compelling stories featuring strong, empowered and inspirational women protagonists. Now the channel is bringing to its viewers a fresh perspective on Ramayan, Siya Ke Ram where the story will be seen from Sita’s perspective.
“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 was released by the channel on 14th October and it truly encapsulates the scale and grandeur of the epic, while highlighting the key differentiator of a Sita who has a point of view, thus establishing Siya Ke Ram as a definite game-changer on Indian Television.
Star Plus, India’s favourite storyteller, has created yet another magnum opus Siya Ke Ram, which 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 of the most renowned writers in the country – The best-selling author of Asura and Ajaya, Anand Neelakantan and talented writer Subrat Sinha – along with creative consultant Devdutt Pattanaik - the man who has redefined mythology for Indians today. Post the mega-success of Mahadev, Triangle Film Company continues their successful association with STAR India as the makers of this magnum opus.
