Ramanand’s Ramayan Cast Deserves Royalty Money? Dipika Chiklia, Arun Govil and Moti Sagar Speak Up

Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan that is currently being re-aired on Doordarshan has received much love and appreciation from the people after being re-run on the channel. But the mythological drama fetched considerable monetary rewards when it was telecasted for the first time back in 1987.

The reports of giving royalty money to the cast of Ramayan is doing rounds in media since the show has now acquired renewable fame after so many years.

Speaking about receiving royalty Dipika Chikhlia who played Sita said, “I think we should get a royalty. We had no money when we shot (the serial). But also now (we haven’t been given any monetary compensation).

Arun Govil, who played Rama agrees with Ms. Chikhlia. “There was little money back then. Now when the series has had a hugely successful re-run some royalty seems right. Yes, why not?”

Moti Sagar, the son of the Ramayan producer-director Ramanand Sagar says, “I think this issue should be addressed to Doordarshan who holds the telecast rights of our serial. We (the Sagar Production house) paid what we had to when the serial was made. Now it is up to Doordarshan to look into this matter. If the artistes are saying they should get royalty, then they must have reason to feel that way. How can I say anything about it?”
