From The Legendary TV Production House Seven Part Epic Saga Unfolded

Devotional cinema is witnessing a strong resurgence in India, with mythological stories increasingly attracting audiences and generating significant theatrical interest. Riding this wave comes Shrimad Bhagavatam, an ambitious seven part live action franchise inspired by Indian spiritual traditions. The first instalment, Vishnurata, has now unveiled its first look, immediately creating curiosity around the project.

The film carries a prestigious legacy as it comes from the family of legendary filmmaker Ramanand Sagar, whose iconic television adaptations Ramayan and Shri Krishna remain culturally significant. His grandsons Akash Sagar Chopra and Amrit Sagar are spearheading the new franchise, aiming to present the Bhagavatam on a scale suited to contemporary audiences.

Akash Sagar Chopra and Amrit Sagar are directing the seven part saga, bringing extensive television and filmmaking experience to the ambitious project. Amrit Sagar previously directed 1971, which won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi. The makers are reportedly planning major production work at Hyderabad’s Ramoji Film City.

Vishnurata is being developed with elaborate sets, large scale production design and extensive visual effects, with the makers opting for a live action approach. Internationally experienced technicians are reportedly joining the project, as the team aims to create a visually spectacular mythological experience. The newly released first look offers an early glimpse into those ambitions.
