Richa Chadha is all set to present a new take on Indian non-fiction storytelling with her upcoming series Musafiri, produced under her banner, Pushing Buttons Studios. Drawing inspiration from her academic background in History and her enduring fascination with India's culture and heritage, the actor-producer aims to create a series that explores the country's historical richness through engaging narratives and visually captivating storytelling.

As moviegoers gear up for Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana, Shiv Sagar is working on a special project connected to his family’s celebrated legacy. Shiv is the grandson of legendary filmmaker-writer Ramanand Sagar, who created the iconic 1987 television epic Ramayan. He is currently producing a documentary that will offer viewers a fascinating glimpse into how the landmark television series was made. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Shiv Sagar spoke about the documentary and his long-cherished dream of building a Ramayana- and Mahabharata-themed park in Haridwar.

We therefore asked Shiv Sagar whether he would consider reviving the theme-park project, possibly in Ayodhya. Shiv Sagar began b...
