Mumbai, February 28, 2025: Sony SAB is set to captivate audiences with its upcoming larger-than-life devotional epic, Veer Hanuman which features Aan Tiwari (Bal Hanuman), Arav Chowdharry (Kesari), Sayli Salunkhe (Anjani) and Mahir Pandhi (Bali and Sugreev)! Premiering on 11th March, the show explores the incredible journey of young Maruti's transformation into the powerful Lord Hanuman, as he discovers his powers over the years.
The grand and visually stunning set of this magnificent saga is designed by the acclaimed film director and production designer Omung Kumar and is a testament of artistic brilliance along with eco-conscious creativity. It took nearly three months to build the set depicting the legendary birthplace of Lord Hanuman – the kingdom of Kishkindha, ensuring every detail resonates with descriptions of that era, while embracing sustainability.
The set features an extensive use of clay powder for clay-moulding, creating intricate and realistic textures. To enhance the divine aesthetic, paper-made artificial flowers and paper mâché leaves were meticulously crafted and placed. Natural elements like dry roots have been strategically placed on cave walls, seamlessly blending reality with artistry. The sacred caves and river landscapes were brought to life using cement-cast rocks for the waterfall wall and cement-cast blocks for the river body flooring, adding depth and authenticity.
Sharing his thoughts Omung Kumar said, "Creating the set for Veer Hanuman has been a deeply fulfilling experience. We wanted to ensure that every element reflected the sanctity of Lord Hanuman’s journey while staying environmentally responsible. The use of eco-friendly materials allowed us to achieve the perfect balance between grandeur and sustainability. I am confident that this visually immersive world will transport viewers into the divine realm of Lord Hanuman."
