Hyderabad’s Mara Creations and Bhargava Pictures introduced “Sriman Rama” animation series on Doordarshan National Channel, airing Sundays starting July 7th with a repeat on Saturdays at 4:30 PM for 52 weeks.
This series reveals Rama’s childhood tales at Gurukul in animation for the first time ever. In 2024, Ayodhya Ram Lalla’s pranpratishta event marked a significant turning point. Stories of Rama’s childhood now captivate audiences on DD National, emphasizing his virtues and inspiring children to emulate his character for a better world.
Writer Director Satyakashi Bhargava says, “Rama is the first ever action star of the universe. He is the greatest archer the world ever known. We belong to a land which always taught us that being human itself is Super and you don’t then really need a Super Man to keep the world in order. Sriman Rama is an action filled extravaganza that subtly outlines the greatest qualities that a human should always strive to inculcate to make this world a better place.It’s my wish to create a ‘Rama Universe’ with original Stories, Games ,Merchandise & Films inspired from Ramayana for the kids of Bharat and around the world to experience and explore. Sriman Rama is the first in the list. The initial response was quite satisfying and encouraging. We are working to release it in all Indian Languages, English and few European languages as well.DD National’s presence and penetration in rural and remote regions of our countrywill help to serve the purpose of reaching out to wider (real) audience, as the 70% of India lives there and it’s our wish to touch them. I’m extremely happy that its happening. We wish to continue this for the next ten years.”
Bharavi Kodavanti, CEO Mara Creations says, “We are a nation with 40 crore children below the age of 15. They are the real stake holders of Viksit Bharat by 2047. Kids entertainment industry is fast growing and It’s of huge responsibility to nurture these future citizens with right entertainment in this age of digital eruption. It’s our wish that we create and tell them the stories that are deep rooted, inspired from the ethos of this land and culturally relevant and presented in a format that they can easily connect to. Sriman Rama is highly engaging and enthralling for not just kids but families as well. We have started our outreach programmes in schools across the nation and the response is quite encouraging. It’s our wish and hope that the kids will find a great companion, guru and friend in Sriman Rama that they can cherish for a life time. We at mara creations, have already started working on few more exhilarating IPs and our plans of expansion is on the way.”
