Making an offering based on mythological characters is tricky in India today. Of late, there have been many examples of people taking offence over representation of mythological figures on screen, citing religious sentiments. As he awaits the release of The Legend of Hanuman’s third season, creator Sharad Devarajan says it is imperative to treat such stories with reverence. “As creators, we make sure our intention is to show reverence for these stories. Here, our pursuit was to be respectful to the original mythological characters, and to Hanuman’s heroism. Also, we have a mythology advisor and experts who work with me and the writing team. They revisit texts, review everything to ensure we get the storytelling right,” he says.
