look
at
the
post,
According
to
reports,
the
show
is
all
set
to
introduce
fresh
faces
as
Ram
and
Sita.
Back
in
2018,
when
Kohli
had
announced
the
project,
he
had
revealed
that
he
"will
be
cautious
while
adapting
the
Hindu
epic" as
there
have
been
plenty
of
historical
projects
which
have
been
surrounded
by
controversies.
Talking
about
Ramyug
being
adapted
from
Ramayan,
he
added
that
he
has
always
been
cautious
but
unfortunate
things
can
happen.
The
director
is
hopefully
that
there'll
be
no
problem.
"We
have
had
Ramayan
on
TV
till
recently.
So
I
hope
and
pray
that
we
don't
have
these
problems."
Ramayan
was
first
adapted
for
television
by
Ramanand
Sagar
in
1988,
which
was
re-telecast
during
the
lockdown
in
2020.
The
mythological
story
was
also
adapted
for
TV
shows
in
2008
and
2012.
