Mumbai: Actor Sharad Kelkar has taken up the role of a narrator for the upcoming animated series, The Legend Of Hanuman.
"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'," Sharad said.
"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," he added.
