miniTV is a free, mobile video entertainment service within Amazon’s mobile shopping app, which serves as a TV-in-pocket for every single Amazon customer in India.


“Amazon miniTV is committed to bringing quality content for free to its consumers and in this direction, Gupt Gyaan will surely enrich our library of award-winning short films available on the service. Continuing to set the entertainment bar as high as ever, we are delighted to collaborate with Guneet Monga and Sikhya Entertainment once again for another interesting movie.”, said Harsh Goyal, Head of Amazon Advertising.

Gupt Gyaan is a short film that is made envisioning Sikhya Entertainment’s motto of creating powerful and compelling narratives.

“It has been such a privilege to bring our creative vision to life with Gupt Gyaan,” commented Saqib Pandor, director of Gupt Gyaan. “While romantic stories at large strike the right chord with audiences, the added excitement amongst them comes from how a story is distinctly narrated. Through this movie, we have attempted to depict the nuances and essence of a relationship between two teenagers in a very authentic manner. I’m sure audiences will enjoy watching the movie as much as we enjoyed creating it.” he added.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
