The epic tale of Hanuman, a beloved figure in Indian mythology, has been reimagined with stunning animation and a powerful narrative in the Disney+ Hotstar original series The Legend of Hanuman. While the animation is visually breathtaking, it's the voice actors who breathe life into these divine and legendary characters. These unsung heroes of storytelling transform myth into immersive experience through vocal artistry.
Created by Sharad Devarajan, Jeevan J. Kang, and Charuvi Agrawal, The Legend of Hanuman delves into the epic journey of Hanuman, tracing his transformation from a mischievous vanara to a devoted servant of Lord Ram. The narrative explores themes of devotion, courage, and the eternal battle between good and evil.
The series has released multiple seasons, each delving deeper into the mythology and expanding the universe. Notably, Season 6 was released on April 11, 2025, coinciding with Hanuman Jayanti, a significant day in Hindu tradition.
Now let’s take a look at the incredible cast of voice actors who bring the gods, warriors, and demons of this epic to life.
Hanuman – Damandeep Singh Baggan
Damandeep Singh Baggan lends his voice to the titular character of Hanuman. Known for his rich experience in animation and Hindi dubbing (The Adventures of Tenali Raman), Baggan captures Hanuman’s transition from an ordinary vanara to a divine warrior. His voice evokes strength, humility, and unwavering devotion—essential traits of the legendary character.
Narrator & Ravan – Sharad Kelkar
Sharad Kelkar serves as the narrator of the series, bringing gravitas and depth to every episode. His booming voice not only guides the audience through the spiritual and emotional highs and lows but also stuns fans with his portrayal of Ravan in Season 3. Known for his powerful screen presence in Laxmii and Tanhaji, Kelkar’s commanding tone adds richness to both divine and demonic storytelling.
Lord Ram – Sanket Mhatre
Sanket Mhatre, a well-known voice in the Indian dubbing industry, takes on the role of the noble and compassionate Lord Ram. Mhatre has voiced characters in Ben 10, Iron Man: Armoured Adventures, and The Witcher, showcasing his dynamic vocal range. In The Legend of Hanuman, his calm and authoritative tone perfectly reflects Ram’s virtuous character.
Lord Lakshmana – Richard Joel
Richard Joel voices Lakshmana, the loyal brother of Ram. His delivery brings out Lakshmana’s fierce protectiveness and sense of justice. Joel’s clear, strong tone makes his character both relatable and heroic, serving as the perfect counterpart to Ram.
Sugreev – Vikrant Chaturvedi
Vikrant Chaturvedi voices Sugreev, the exiled vanara king and loyal ally of Ram. With experience in dubbing for international blockbusters like Harry Potter and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Chaturvedi delivers a grounded performance that conveys the emotional arc of a betrayed brother and a courageous king.
Jambavana – Shakti Singh
Veteran voice actor Shakti Singh brings wisdom and authority to Jambavana, the ancient and mighty bear warrior. Singh’s delivery adds a fatherly, philosophical touch to the role, making him a key moral compass in Hanuman’s journey.
Vali & Ahiravana – Sahil Vaid
Sahil Vaid demonstrates his vocal versatility by voicing two very different characters across seasons. Whether portraying the mighty and aggressive Vali or the dark, deceptive Ahiravana, Vaid brings a layered performance that adds dimension to these antagonistic roles.
Shurpanakha – Toshi Sinha
Toshi Sinha voices Shurpanakha, the fierce and complex demoness. Her delivery combines vulnerability, rage, and revenge, giving the character emotional weight beyond the traditional portrayal.
