MUMBAI: Lord Hanuman has been one of the most revered figures in Indian storytelling. His tales of devotion and boundless strength have been etched into the collective memory of generations, passed down through folklore, cinema, and, most significantly, television.
But while many portrayals captured the dedication of Hanuman, a part of his story often remained unexplored, that of the boy and his journey which shaped him into a legend. This transformation, from a playful child to divine destiny is beautifully captured by Sony SAB’s ‘Veer Hanuman’, staring Arav Chowdharry as Kesari, Sayli Salunkhe as Anjani, Mahir Pandhi as Bali, and Sugreev and child actor Aan Tiwari as Lord Hanuman. Each actor brings depth and nuance to their respective characters, making it impossible not to be invested in their journeys.
Veer Hanuman dares to pause and look closer, at the young Maruti navigating his early years, his friendships, and the choices that led him to become Hanuman. The show peels back the layers, revealing Maruti’s inner world. In doing so, it reminds viewers that even the strongest heroes begin their journey with questions, and moments of doubt. It’s a portrayal rooted in emotion, making space for both his strength and his vulnerability.
But what truly sets this show apart is its stunning visual appeal. The elegant costumes, meticulously designed to reflect the grandeur of ancient India, are a feast for the eyes. The sets, crafted by acclaimed director and production designer Omung Kumar, are a masterclass in attention to detail and artistic brilliance. And the breathtaking graphics transport viewers to ancient kingdoms, recreating the grandeur and mystique of a bygone era.
The show has something for everyone, whether you're a child fascinated by mythology, a parent seeking moral lessons, or a grandparent cherishing timeless stories. Veer Hanuman brings families together, offering wisdom, entertainment, and devotion in equal measure.
As long as stories of Lord Hanuman continue to be told, they will find new meanings in every era. And sometimes, the most powerful way to revisit a legend is to go back to where it all began — with a boy discovering who he is meant to be, beautifully brought to life by Sony SAB."
