MUMBAI: Singer-songwriter Kaala Bhairava, who has sung and composed an all new version of Hanuman Chalisa Ansh for the series 'The Legend of Hanuman' has revealed his true inspiration behind the composition
Best known for the Oscar-winning song "Naatu Naatu", Bhairava said: "I was extremely excited when this project came to me and instantly agreed to get on board without any second thoughts about it. Personally, the complete Chalisa as a whole has had a solid impact on me. Mainly the words and depth of the narrative."
He further said: "My biggest source of inspiration was the mighty Lord Hanuman himself. I’ve been a devout follower of him since my early childhood. My personal connection to this is faith and devotion and as for the inspirations that have helped me, I got them from all the innumerable existing versions of Hanuman Chalisa composed by artists across the country."
"All of them influenced me in their own way and helped me imagine my own version in a unique way," he added.
