The Legend Of Hanuman started in the year 2021 with a phenomenal season that started with the childhood of Lord HanuMan and quickly shifted gears in the first 20 minutes with HanuMan meeting Lord Ram and Lakshman in the jungle while the Ayodhya prince was looking out for the King of the ‘Vanar’ Sugreeva.

The second season of the show escalated quality and content-wise to a much better tone and followed HanuMan’s first...

The Legend of Hanuman is an animated series based on the beloved Hindu deity Hanuman, as the name suggests. On the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti today, Season 4 of the popular Hotstar series has been announced. We are here with all the information you need about the upcoming season.

About the show-

The Legend of Hanuman first premiered on the popular streaming platform in 2021. The story is about when Lord Mahadev incarnates as Hanuman to serve Lord Rama. It follows the transformation from a mighty warrior to a god and how Hanuman became the beacon of hope amidst the harrowing darkness.

Cast –

The Legend of Hanuman Season 4’s cast includes the eminent actor Sharad Kelkar. He has lent his voice to Ravan in the new season. Speaking of his experience, the actor said,...

Actor Sharad Kelkar has added a dash of childhood Ram Leela magic to his Ravan character in ‘The Legend of Hanuman 3’, and despite the animated dubbing maze, he turned those tiny stage experiences into animated glory.

Elaborating on the same, Sharad said: “Throughout my childhood in a small town, we saw Ram Leela happening live every year. It was a great festive environment. It was mesmerising for me to see how these guys portrayed these characters through the 10 days of Ram Leela every day.”

“All the ‘adhya’s being played in such a tiny place without VFX or live action, with just a stage and costumes to express – it was a different feeling altogether. And that shaped my initial perception of the character of Ravan. But when you dub, you don’t quite have that ambience of a theatre and that kind of audience. Also, the Ravan from Ram Leela is not multidimensional,...

Singer-songwriter Kaala Bhairava, who has sung and composed an all-new version of Hanuman Chalisa Ansh for the series ‘The Legend of Hanuman’ has revealed his true inspiration behind the composition.

Best known for the Oscar-winning song “Naatu Naatu”, Bhairava said: “I was extremely excited when this project came to me and instantly agreed to get on board without any second thoughts about it. Personally, the complete Chalisa as a whole has had a solid impact on me. Mainly the words and depth of the narrative.”

He further said: “My biggest source of inspiration was the mighty Lord Hanuman himself. I’ve been a devout follower of him since my early childhood. My personal connection to this is faith and devotion and as for the inspirations that have helped me, I got them from all the innumerable existing versions of Hanuman Chalisa composed by artists across the country.”

“All of them...

Actor Sharad Kelkar, who is the voice of Ravan in the upcoming series ‘The Legend of Hanuman 3’, has shared how the series is enjoyed by people of all ages, and said that animation gives us the power to draw the audience in.

The show brings together viewers from different age groups, making it enjoyable for everyone.

Talking about the same, Sharad said: “I think we can take a lot of liberty with animation. We can create anything from our imagination. Technically also with animation, we can achieve a lot more by creating a very visually immersive world around the story, which is harder to bring alive in live action, especially when creating a show like this.”

The ‘Bhoomi’ actor went on to say, “You can create a fantasy medium with animation which is why it’s very popular with kids. I learned this from my daughter. She literally feels that...

Breaking the notion around animated stories existing just for kids, the creator of ‘The Legend of Hanuman’, Sharad Devranjan has opened up about how they are elevating storytelling with cutting-edge animation, making it an experience not to be missed by any.

Elaborating on the same, Sharad Devarajan, who is the Co-Founder and CEO of Graphic India and the creator and executive producer of the show said: “One of our goals in the series was to make the Indian audience forget they are watching ‘an animation’ and just be drawn into the story, the world and the characters, in the same way they would with any big-event, live action film or a TV series.”

He shared that the series will inspire audiences with a fresh new take on the legend both visually and narratively for a whole new generation.

“The series does full justice to this fantasy world through animation. We...

Actor Sharad Kelkar, who is the voice of Ravan in the upcoming series ‘The Legend of Hanuman 3’, finds it challenging and rewarding to portray a multifaceted Ravan who is headstrong, emotional and humorous.

Sharad had earlier lent his voice to characters like Malcolm for ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’, Ronan the Accuser for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, and ‘Captain Marvel’, Deckard Shaw for ‘Furious 7’, Raghav for ‘Adipurush’, Amrendra Baahubali for the movie ‘Baahubali’, among many others.

Talking about the same, Sharad said: “I’ve lent my voice to several historical characters but being the voice of Ravan has been uniquely challenging and rewarding. The image Ravan has is of being very loud, with his distinct laugh, but the way the makers have designed this show showcases him in a different light.”

The ‘Tanhaji’ fame actor further said that the makers of the show have researched and written...

The trailer of the third season of the animated show ‘The Legend of Hanuman’ was unveiled on Friday and it promises an epic battle between Lord Hanuman and Ravan. The trailer, which is 2 minutes and 24 seconds in length, begins in the midst of a battle. It goes on to show how Lord Hanuman and Ravan command equal power and the only thing that separates them is the righteousness.

It shows how Lord Hanuman becomes aware of his true strength as he squares off against Lankesh. It also shows Kumbhakarna making an appearance as he gets on the battlefield.

Talking about the show, Sharad Kelkar, who voices Lankesh, said: “I have grown up hearing about the legendary adventures of Hanuman and now being a part of the story as Ravan seems unimaginably surreal. The impact it had on my childhood made this opportunity even more special. As a kid, I was...
