Mumbai: Get ready for the much-anticipated return of our favorite hero, Hanuman as he comes back with Season 3 of Disney+ Hotstar’s The Legend of Hanuman! Hanuman embodies the epitome of devotion and strength, as he brings forth his legendary feats and thrilling adventures. Disney+ Hotstar unveiled the trailer of fan favorite The Legend of Hanuman Season 3, slated to release on January 12, 2024 showcasing the timeless tales of Ramayana as the saga of Hanuman unfolds. Produced by Graphic India and created by Sharad Devarajan, Jeevan J. Kang and Charuvi Agrawal for Disney+ Hotstar, The Legend of Hanuman stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of our heritage and the boundless magic it brings to life.
Sharad Kelkar, the voice of Ravan in Disney+ Hotstar’s The Legend of Hanuman season 3, finds it a challenge and a reward portraying a multifaceted Ravan who is headstrong, emotional and humorous. The show's nuanced depiction reveals the man behind the legendary image, showcasing a different side of this iconic character.
Sharad Kelkar, the voice of Ravan in Disney+ Hotstar’s The Legend of Hanuman season 3 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. In the show, they have researched and written about Ravan in a way that you get a glimpse of the man behind the legend, for example, he is very headstrong, but he is also emotional and has a great sense of humor. Within seconds he can shift his demeanor across different levels. So, all these aspects combined make him a very, very different and difficult character to bring alive through my voice. These are traits people have never seen or know about him. Thankfully, because I come from the Hindi-speaking belt, I was able to factor in all the nuances of his character through my voice.”
