The Legend of Hanuman, an animated series on the mythological Hanuman, is being streamed on Disney Hotstar streaming platform from today.

An animated mythological fantasy streaming television series created by Sharad Devarajan, Jeevan J. Kang and Charuvi Agrawal for Hotstar, The Legend of Hanuman follows Hanuman's transformation from a mighty warrior to a God.

It is the story of how Hanuman became the beacon of hope amidst the harrowing darkness.

The Legend Of Hanuman is the story of a humble vaanara who forgot His divinity but was awoken to embrace His true power and wisdom to become an immortal legend. 

When a growing darkness threatens to tear the universe apart, all hope lies in the journey of a young hero. 

Hanuman’s power was taken from Him as a child and He must go on a journey of self-discovery to remember the God inside of Him. 

Hanuman’s quest will take Him through a vast world of characters, demons, lost cities, cultures and forest beings with their rivalries, alliances and wars. At each stage He and His companions must overcome unthinkable challenges to save all existence. 

 The series, which has been produced by Graphic India, is being streamed on Disney+ Hotstar and Hotstar globally in seven Indian languages — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Malayalam and Kannada.

Actor Sharad Kelkar has taken up the role of a narrator for the animated series.

Sharad Kelkar said that being the narrator of the series has been a unique experience.

“Most of us have grown up either listening to tales of Lord Hanuman or watching it on television. Interestingly, we know little about his formative years. ‘The legend Of Hanuman’ is a visually rich tale of the God who forgot who he was, and believed he was just a ‘vaanara.

As a sootradhar, it’s my privilege to lend my voice in a way that ties that story together; it’s been a truly unique experience. I think this story will inspire people to believe that true measure of a being is not defined by power, but from faith, courage and compassion,” the actor said.
