The Legend of Hanuman season 4: Everything to know about Disney Plus Hotstar’s web series
Being an animated series, it features voice performances from notable actors. Sanket Mhatre voices Shree Rama, and Surbhi Pandey lends her voice to Sita. Additionally, Damandeep Singh Baggan voices Hanuman, Vikrant Chaturvedi as Sugreev, and Richard Joel as Lakshmana, among others. Interestingly, in Season 4, prominent actor Sharad Kelkar lends his voice to the character of Ravana.
While discussing his experience, Sharad Kelkar expressed, “Voice acting is far more challenging than face acting, and it’s a craft that often goes unrecognized. Seeing it gain popularity now makes me very happy. I am incredibly proud to be part of The Legend of Hanuman. This series has beautifully brought animation into the OTT space, showcasing the greatness of Indian scriptures and revolutionizing animation in the Indian OTT space. Everyone who has watched The Legend of Hanuman has gained a sense of wisdom, and I have felt the same.”
While the previous seasons released all episodes simultaneously, Season 4 adopts a different approach by releasing episodes weekly. Only two episodes have been released: Shadows of the Past and The Unlikely Heroes, each with a runtime of around 20 minutes. This shift has sparked disappointment among fans. One netizen expressed frustration on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Hotstar, The Legend of Hanuman for the last 3 Seasons you released all episodes at a time. Now releasing weekly wise this. This is the reason why web series shouldn’t become famous. Because of us your arrogance it became because we watched and you released all at a time don’t be(sic).”
