Veer Hanuman continues to strike a powerful chord with audiences through its spiritually rich and emotionally charged portrayal of young Maruti’s transformation into the revered
Lord Hanuman.
In recent episodes, viewers were taken on a divine journey as Hanuman bravely navigated through five spiritual stages. Meanwhile, the shadow of
Shani Dev, portrayed by Rishabh Pawar, loomed over
Kishkindha, signaling upcoming challenges for the young warrior.
A significant turning point now unfolds as Shani Dev, disguised as a Rishi, puts Hanuman to the test with a divine task. Oblivious to the true identity behind the challenge, Hanuman accomplishes the task with his signature blend of humility, focus, and unwavering devotion. Deeply moved by Hanuman’s unshakable spirit and moral fortitude, Shani Dev reveals his true form and rewards him with the Kaumodki Gada—the iconic symbol of Lord Hanuman’s divine power and righteousness.
Rishabh Pawar, who plays Shani Dev, shared his experience of filming this pivotal moment:
“This sequence beautifully captures the dedication of young Hanuman. In a world full of distractions, Lord Hanuman’s focus, discipline, and sense of duty remind us that true strength lies not just in power but in character. Playing Shani Dev in this pivotal moment, where he tests Hanuman’s virtues, has been incredibly meaningful. The show inspires viewers to stay committed to their values, no matter how tough the journey gets.”
With Aan Tiwari as young Maruti, Arav Chowdharry as Kesari, Sayli Salunkhe as Anjani, and Mahir Pandhi in a dual role as Bali and Sugreev, the series has become a beloved watch across all age groups.
