New Delhi:
The much awaited trailer of the animated film Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama, which is coming to clash with Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force on January 24, has been released, which has created a wave of excitement among the fans and cinema lovers. A new rendition of India’s most beloved story, the film is a visual masterpiece based on Valmiki’s Ramayana. The trailer features stunning visuals and grand battle scenes that transport the audience to Ayodhya, where Prince Ram was born. Mithila, where he married Sita. The forest of Panchavati, where Rama spent his exile with Sita and Lakshmana and Lanka, where the historic battle between Lord Rama and Ravana took place, takes in all these places. All this has been beautifully presented in Japanese anime style.

Conceived by Yugo Sako and directed by Koichi Sasaki and Ram Mohan, this film is a special India-Japan joint project, in which more than 450 artists have used around 1,00,000 hand-made cels. The result is a visual masterpiece that blends the essence of Japanese art with India’s age-old storytelling traditions. Due to this, the trailer is getting love from fans on YouTube.
