Renowned singer Kaala Bhairava has lent his voice to a new version of Hanuman Chalisa Ansh for season three of Disney+Hotstar animated series "The Legend of Hanuman".
Bhairava, one of the singers of Oscar-winning track "Naatu Naatu" from "RRR", said it was a surreal experience to record the spiritual song.
"Singing and Composing the Hanuman Chalisa Ansh for Legend of Hanuman season three on Disney+ Hotstar felt like stepping into a different world-so surreal, with a rush of emotions at every verse. Time seemed to stand still as those powerful words resonated.
"There's a unique kind of magic in it and with the new year upon us, it was the perfect thing to begin 2024 with. It wasn't just singing; it felt like adding a distinctive touch to the commencement of something remarkable," he said.
