Anand Neelakantan-Live Chat today(SKR writer)

@SiyaKeRam_SP @anand_neel #SKRtonight i know overall the full ramayan den how it will be different for me?

@RathoreRavi3 @SiyaKeRam_SP the story is same the difference will be visible in the treatment

ashish sharma @ashish30sharma

@anand_neel go on handle the army of fans while I handle the army of tadka in darjeeling #SiyaKeRam #SKRtonight

@ashish30sharma oh. For a moment I read Tadka as Tadaka. Too much drunk on Ramayana I think

@anand_neel How much time did you get to preparing for the mythology show #SiyaKeRam???? #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@SiyaKeRam_FC @SiyaKeRam_SP Lat 1.5 years we have been writing this

@anand_neel what are your expectations from this mythological show #SiyaKeRam?? can u explain it in one word? #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@1Amarkumar @SiyaKeRam_SP Just like I was able to present a different Ravan in my novel Asura I hope we can see a different Sita and Ram

@anand_neel hope to see an alternative narrative,one which I sincerely expect from you.Something that'll give the viewers food for thought!

@sidsach I am sure it will be different

@anand_neel what is more challenging writing books or a tv show like @SiyaKeRam_SP #SKRtonight

@ashish_sharmaFc @SiyaKeRam_SP Book writing has more freedom where as TV is all about scale

@anand_neel something special and different in this #Ramayan #SiyaKeRam wud u like to share with us? #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@SiyaKeRam_FC @SiyaKeRam_SP First time Ramayana is presented as a Love story

@anand_neel what are u expecting from the show #SKRtonight

@ashish_sharmaFc I hope a different narrative of Sita and Ram will emerge

#SKRtonight to @anand_neel did u ever think this as a risky concept for TV,as Indian Audience are used to the way it was narrated till now?

@NiloPriya If a writer think about risk he is no writer at all. Writing comes from heart

@anand_neel #SKRtonight how much it is different from other versions of Ramayan we have seen earlier.

@9122e56a37ea421 it will be relatable to today's world

@anand_neel sir frist want to thank u for writing #SiyaKeRam

@ohona_islam thank you. Please watch the show and read my books too:)

#SKRtonight to @anand_neel have u met the actors of Siya Ke Ram.Specially @ashish30sharma & @_madirakshi ur Ram and Sita?opinion about them?

@NiloPriya @ashish30sharma @_madirakshi no I have not met them. But I am happy that the producer cast them as they suit as per writing

#SKRtonight to @anand_neel will u be watching the first ep today with the team of #SiyaKeRam ?

@NiloPriya yes launch party is today

@anand_neel is there difficult challenges in this show for you?? #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@SiyaKeRam_FC @SiyaKeRam_SP writing mythology is always difficult and exciting

@anand_neel which is ur next outdoor location for #SiyaKeRam? #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@SiyaKeRam_FC @SiyaKeRam_SP should be Lanka and Kerala though I am not directly involved

@anand_neel @NiloPriya @ashish30sharma @_madirakshi have u seen their previous work #SKRtonight

@ashish_sharmaFc @NiloPriya @ashish30sharma @_madirakshi yes and they are great actors. They will rock

@anand_neel something's spcl in @_madirakshi tht u think she is perfect as #Sita in #SiyaKeRam, wud like to share #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@1Amarkumar @_madirakshi @SiyaKeRam_SP Look at her eyes

@SiyaKeRam_SP @anand_neel @StarPlus Ramayan and MB were just stories or something that really happened? Whats your opinion?

@b_sarika @SiyaKeRam_SP @StarPlus I believe they are Indian style of teaching history. A bit colourful and somewhat exaggerated

@b_sarika @SiyaKeRam_SP @StarPlus but still true and Indian

@anand_neel one lvely word for our superhero @ashish30sharma ?? #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@1Amarkumar @ashish30sharma @SiyaKeRam_SP Just be yourself, Just be Ram

@anand_neel @ashish30sharma @SiyaKeRam_SP Is it Wrong to Add Visual Appeal wth Today's Technology Clashing wth Yester Story # Ramayana

@zoinxy @ashish30sharma @SiyaKeRam_SP Every era uses technology of the day. From oral to written to printed to screen

@SiyaKeRam_SP @anand_neel #SKRtonight sir plz try to stick to d original story as it is related to our beliefs..Shows today fail to do so.

@kanhakiradhika @SiyaKeRam_SP we have tried to do that. But then there are 300 plus ramayanas

@anand_neel is there difficult challenges in this show for you?? #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@SiyaKeRam_FC @SiyaKeRam_SP To make it appealing to FB twitter generation yet to stay true to original is challenging

Sarika @b_sarika

@anand_neel @SiyaKeRam_SP @StarPlus #SKRtonight I am studying Epics right now.constantly search different interpretations & perspectives

@b_sarika @SiyaKeRam_SP @StarPlus That should be a great experience

@anand_neel who is ur inspiration and why?? #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@SiyaKeRam_FC @SiyaKeRam_SP my parents who introduced me to the world of mythology

Neelum Guha @zoinxy

@anand_neel @ashish30sharma @SiyaKeRam_SP We loving Visuals Why are critics Panning this Modern Effect?? Thats it's Distortion of Facts??

@zoinxy @ashish30sharma @SiyaKeRam_SP Critics job is to criticise and writers dharma is to write and actors to act

@anand_neel any plan for future in this mytho shows field. that u want to share with us ?? SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@SiyaKeRam_FC @SiyaKeRam_SP The world of mythology is big and the plans are bigger. But after Siya Ke ram only

@anand_neel my next qeuestion What excites you on this show as writer? #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@1Amarkumar @SiyaKeRam_SP Visual appeal, scale and seeing Ramayana as a romantic tale

@anand_neel your other favorite genre apart from mythology #SKRtonight

@ashish_sharmaFc Fantasy. My next book Devayani is a love story set in a mythofantasy world

@anand_neel your other favorite genre apart from mythology #SKRtonight

@ashish_sharmaFc Then History. Would love to do a show on Raja Raja chola the greatest emperor after Ashoka that India has ever seen

@anand_neel in #Ramayan #SiyaKeRam which one is your fav character and why?? #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@SiyaKeRam_FC @SiyaKeRam_SP Ravan and Ram. Ram shows how to live and Ravan how we live

@anand_neel @SiyaKeRam_SP @StarPlus #SKRtonight SKR would be closer to Tulsi Ramayam or it will include not so comfortable parts also?

@b_sarika @SiyaKeRam_SP @StarPlus It will have parts of other Ramayan too.

@anand_neel something special in our Raavan in #SiyaKeRam that you like to share with us?? #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@SiyaKeRam_FC @SiyaKeRam_SP A great man gone astray. The difference between Ram and Ravan will be in the choices they make

@anand_neel what type of books u like to read #SKRtonight

@ashish_sharmaFc Historical fiction

@anand_neel @SiyaKeRam_SP Romance in mytho shows are mostly not explored and subtle too.I think so.Ur take,if so what might be the reason?

@NiloPriya @SiyaKeRam_SP We hope to set a trend. SIYA KE RAM is all about romance

@anand_neel any fun moment this show. you want to share with us?? #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@SiyaKeRam_FC @SiyaKeRam_SP Since my first Novel was about Ravan all used to tease me that I should not make it Ravan show

@anand_neel your favorite scene in this show #SiyaKeRam??? #SKRtonight @SiyaKeRam_SP

@SiyaKeRam_FC @SiyaKeRam_SP Janak naming Sita

@SiyaKeRam_SP @anand_neel ARE we going to get to see romantic scenes between Sita & Ram ?

@ggzzrrgg @SiyaKeRam_SP This is the world's first love story. We have to
