Mumbai: Shrimad Ramayan transitions to Sony SAB, a family entertainment channel from 12 August, as the story enters a new chapter. The anticipated climax and an action-filled episode of Lord Ram culminating in one of the most legendary battles with Raavan is set to air on Sony SAB on August 12 at 7.30 PM.

It’s surreal to be part of the channel’s legacy now. I’m excited for viewers to witness a fresh chapter of Ramayan – a show that is timeless. Playing Lord Ram has been a truly humbling experience, and I can’t wait to share these new chapters with our audience.”
Prachi Bansal as Sita said, “I am excited the show will now air on Sony SAB, a channel my family and I spend most of our time watching together and hence holds great nostalgia for me. I hope just like our family, a lot of families across the country will watch the show with their loved ones and continue to shower us with their generous love and affection. I am inspired by Sita’s grace, resilience, and unwavering devotion, and I am looking forward to playing the role in the upcoming episodes that explore new depths of her character.”

Collective Artists launches HistoryVerse, India’s biggest myth slate
MUMBAI: Collective Artists Network is stepping boldly into the past to shape the future of Indian storytelling. The company has announced HistoryVerse, a sweeping new content slate dedicated to retelling India’s rich historical and mythological legacy for contemporary audiences.
Launched under the newly formed Collective Studios, the slate features eight history-inspired titles across theatrical films and web series, making it the largest such lineup announced in India to date. The stories draw inspiration from figures and traditions that have shaped the subcontinent for centuries, including Hanuman, Krishna, Shiva, Shivaji, Durga, Kali and Swami Samarth.
The already released Mahabharat series acts as the foundation stone for HistoryVerse, offering a glimpse into how deeply rooted narratives can be retold with scale, polish and a modern storytelling lens. Building on that momentum, three of the newly announced projects are being developed as feature films, while two will take the form of web series. More titles are already in various stages of development.
Collective says the focus is on detail and immersion at every step, from research and writing to visual design, aiming to make these stories feel expansive yet accessible, even for viewers who may not usually gravitate towards historical content.
Announcing the slate, Collective Artists Network founder and group CEO Vijay Subramaniam, said India’s folklore remains one of the country’s most underleveraged creative assets. “These stories sit at the heart of our culture and deserve to travel the world,” he said. “HistoryVerse is not just about films and series. It is about building an ecosystem of experiences, consumer brands and gaming that allows audiences to engage with these narratives in many ways.”
With HistoryVerse, Collective Studios is positioning itself for the long haul, betting that India’s oldest stories, told with contemporary craft, still have plenty of new ground to cover.
