Actor Sharad Kelkar returns as the narrator of 'The Legend of Hanuman' Season 2. Though Hanuman faced great dangers in the first season, he was not alone. He had the strength of Angad to support him, the wisdom of Jambhvan to guide him, and even the antics of Nal and Neel to lift his spirits when times were dark. But now, Hanuman must face his greatest threat completely alone as he journeys across the sea to the golden city of Lanka. Will his new divine powers be enough when tested against the fury and might of the demon king, Ravan and his fierce sons and armies? Yet even in the darkness, Hanuman shall have one light to guide him, his faith and strength from Ram. It is the story of a humble vanara finally awoken to embrace his true power and wisdom to become an immortal legend. This is the story of Hanuman!
