The series is helmed by Jeevan J Kang and Navin John, with lead writers Sharad Devarajan, Sarwat Chaddha, Ashwin Pande, and Arshad Syed. Sharad considers himself fortunate enough to be a part of the epic drama and lend his voice. Talking about the same, he issued a press statement and said,

“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 a god who forgot who he was and believed he was just a vaanara. As a sootradhar (narrator), 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 the true measure of a being is not defined by power, but from the faith, courage, and compassion.”

All 13 episodes of the show will be available in seven languages – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Malayalam, and Kannada; and will release exclusively on January 29 on Disney+ Hotstar VIP.
