New Delhi: Many films and shows have been made inspired by the mythological story Ramayana, which hold a special place in the hearts of the audience, but there was one film which was banned in India. This film was produced in Japan. We are talking about Ramayana The Legend of Prince Rama.

Ramayana is an animated film released in 1992 , which was produced by Japanese filmmaker Yugo Sako and he directed the film along with Indian filmmaker Ram Mohan. After years, the film has once again come into discussion. This is because this mythological film is going to hit Indian theatres.

Lord Ram's exile is over!

Yes, the story of Lord Rama after 31 years of exile will be shown in an animated version in Indian theaters. Ramayan is being released in India through Farhan Akhtar, Geek Pictures India and AA Films. Recently, the teaser trailer of the film was released on social media, which created excitement in the hearts of the audience. 

When is Ramayan movie releasing?

Ramayana The Legend of Prince Rama Release Date, which shows Hanuman's devotion towards Rama and rescues his wife Sita from Ravana, is being released in theatres before Diwali. The film will hit the theatres on October 18. You can watch it in Hindi, English, Tamil and Telugu languages. It is known that its voice over in Hindi has been given by Arun Govil and Amrish Puri, who played the role of Lord Rama in the Ramayana serial.

Why was the movie Ramayan banned in India?

There were many reasons for Ramayan being banned in India. The first problem was that the film was produced by Japan. Vishwa Hindu Parishad had expressed its displeasure by issuing a protest letter. Then the producer thought of clearing this misunderstanding and making it in an animated version and put his proposal in front of the government. But the government disagreed with showing a sensitive subject in the form of a cartoon. Not only this, at the same time, there was a controversy going on in India regarding Ram Janmabhoomi. In such a situation, making a film in India became almost impossible. 

450 artists were part of the film

Eventually the film was made in Japan itself and about 450 artists from both the countries contributed to its production. The film was shown for the first time at the International Film Festival of India a year after its release. However, due to the controversy over Ram Janmabhoomi at that time, the film could not survive in theaters and was finally telecast on TV. Last year, when Aadipurush was criticized, people compared this Japanese-Indian film Ramayana with Aadipurush. People liked it very much.
