‘More
than

to
bring
this
epic
that
has
ruled
billions
of
hearts
for
over
5000
years

And
today,
I
am
thrilled
to
see
it
taking
shape
beautifully
as
our
teams
work
tirelessly
with
only
one
purpose:
to
present
the
most
authentic,
sacred,
and
visually
stunning
adaptation
of
our
history,
our
truth,
and
our
culture,
our
‘RAMAYANA’,
for
people
across
the
world,’

with
pride
and
reverence,
Part
