Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan has turned out to be the most-watched television show in the past four years. The show has also led to Doordarshan becoming the most-watched channel amid the lockdown due to coronavirus. Post the success of Ramayan, the channel has decided to re-run the extended version of the show – Uttar Ramayan.
The interesting part of Uttar Ramayan is that popular Marathi actor Swwapnil Joshi played the role of young Kush in the show. The actor took to his social media page to express his happiness on the re-run of the show. In one of the posts, he wrote, “My first ever role, KUSH!!!! After the grand success of Ramayan, Now DDNational will telecast Luv Kush’s UttarRamayan. Jai Shri Ram,” (sic)
My first ever role. KUSH!!!!
After the grand success of #Ramayan, Now @DDNational will telecast Luv Kush's #UttarRamayan

Uttar Ramayan had aired during 1988-89, for 44 episodes and was also directed by Ramayan director Ramanand Sagar. The character of Luv was essayed by child artist Mayuresh Kshetramade. The other star cast including Luv-Kush’s parents, Ram and Sita, played by Arun Govil and Dipika Chikhlia, Lakshman played by Sunil Lahiri and Hanuman played by Dara Singh, remained the same for both the shows.
