Maharashtra CM praises Ramayana 

Addressing writer-producer, Namit Malhotra at WAVES 2025, the Maharashtra CM said, “I think, as you rightly said, we are the world’s oldest storytellers. Our art, drama, and music are very old, and we only wanted to couple them up with the latest technology, and I think that’s what you are doing. So, yesterday, when I visited your pavilion with the Honourable Prime Minister, I was amazed to see the quality of Ramayana, which you are creating. I think that is the way we need to tell our stories to our new generation, and I think with what you are setting up will be the best in the globe.”
