Filmmaker Anil Sharma, who is behind the Gadar franchise, has announced his next project, Vanvaas. The announcement was made on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra on Saturday.

'Vanvaas' explores timeless themes of duty and honor
Describing Vanvaas as a unique take on Ramayana, Sharma told IANS, "Ramayana and Vanvaas is a different take on the same where kids make their parents take exile. Kalyug Ka Ramayana jaha Apne hi Dete Hai Apno ko Vanvaas," he wrote. The makers have also revealed that the film explores eternal themes of duty, honor, and how one's actions shape one's life.
