Actor Sharad Kelkar has added a dash of childhood Ram Leela magic to his Ravan character in ‘The Legend of Hanuman 3’, and despite the animated dubbing maze, he turned those tiny stage experiences into animated glory.
Elaborating on the same, Sharad said: “Throughout my childhood in a small town, we saw Ram Leela happening live every year. It was a great festive environment. It was mesmerising for me to see how these guys portrayed these characters through the 10 days of Ram Leela every day.”
“All the ‘adhya’s being played in such a tiny place without VFX or live action, with just a stage and costumes to express – it was a different feeling altogether. And that shaped my initial perception of the character of Ravan. But when you dub, you don’t quite have that ambience of a theatre and that kind of audience. Also, the Ravan from Ram Leela is not multidimensional,...

Actor Sharad Kelkar, who is the voice of Ravan in the upcoming series ‘The Legend of Hanuman 3’, has shared how the series is enjoyed by people of all ages, and said that animation gives us the power to draw the audience in.
The show brings together viewers from different age groups, making it enjoyable for everyone.
Talking about the same, Sharad said: “I think we can take a lot of liberty with animation. We can create anything from our imagination. Technically also with animation, we can achieve a lot more by creating a very visually immersive world around the story, which is harder to bring alive in live action, especially when creating a show like this.”
The ‘Bhoomi’ actor went on to say, “You can create a fantasy medium with animation which is why it’s very popular with kids. I learned this from my daughter. She literally feels that...

Actor Sharad Kelkar, who is the voice of Ravan in the upcoming series ‘The Legend of Hanuman 3’, finds it challenging and rewarding to portray a multifaceted Ravan who is headstrong, emotional and humorous.

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.

Real Madrid star and former Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo has set conquering the entertainment industry as his next goal with two new TV projects.
On Wednesday, it was announced that Ronaldo will follow in the footsteps of another sports legend, Tom Brady, with a series for Facebook Watch. However, unlike Gotham Chopra’s documentary “Tom vs Time,” this series will be scripted.
Written “Memphis Beat” duo Liz Garcia and Josh Harto, the untitled drama centers on a high school girls soccer team in upstate New York. Ronaldo will serve as executive producer on the series, which hails from wiip, the independent studio led by former ABC boss Paul Lee. The series is the second from wiip to score a series order from Facebook Watch, following the Catherine Zeta-Jones-led “Queen America.”

“In my free time, one of the things I like to do is to watch good television,” Portuguese national team player Ronaldo said in a statement. “To be the executive producer of this series is going to be an amazing experience, especially given the talent of the people who are working very hard to bring it to life. The story of my life has many similarities with the highs and lows the girls varsity soccer team will face in the series. While the series is set against the background of soccer, it goes much deeper than just the beautiful game. It’s about values, challenges, friendship, difficult times, hard work, solidarity, tensions, and harmony. In a word — it’s about life.”
The international football star has also teamed up with animation studio Graphic India and digital marketing and content management company Vms Communications to develop an animated series called “Striker Force 7,” which will star a cartoon version of Ronaldo himself.
Co-created by Graphic India’s Sharad Devarajan and Ronaldo, the character will also cross over into publishing, gaming, comics and digital content. No further details about the series were announced.
