New Delhi, Feb 14 (.) Ahead of Maha Shivaratri, Saregama India on Saturday announced its upcoming animated feature film ‘Shiv Sati’.
Directed by Vivek Anchalia, known for Rajma Chawal, the film is slated for release later this year. The film explores the mythological love story of Lord Shiva and Goddess Sati.
In a press note, Anchalia shared his vision for the project, saying, “I’ve always been fascinated by love stories, but when I started reading Shiv and Sati’s story, I encountered love on a scale I had neither seen nor heard of. Bringing the first love story of the universe to life is thus both exhilarating and an immense responsibility. I believe that the current state of technology, coupled with the audience’s appetite for grand spectacles, makes it the ideal time for narrating this tale that has been such an integral part of our culture for centuries.”
The makers also unveiled the film’s teaser on Saturday, offering audiences a glimpse into the animated retelling of the epic tale.
Siddharth Anand Kumar, Executive Vice President, Films & Events at Saregama, highlighted the significance of the project.
“At Saregama, innovation has always been central to our creative journey. The story of Shiv Sati is among the most profound, and yet one of the least explored love stories from our cultural heritage. We’re excited to bring it to audiences in a form that is authentic, immersive, and truly cinematic,” he said. ‘Shiv Sati’ is currently in production.
