The Legend Of Hanuman's Sharad Kelkar reveals why voice acting is a tougher task than onscreen acting | Exclusive

Sharad Kelkar has spent the last twenty years or more working in the motion picture and television industries. The actor, who never ceased to astound us with his screen roles, is currently preparing for the much-anticipated premiere of The Legend of Hanuman Season 3. He gave his voice to the show's Raavan character.

Recently, in an exclusive conversation with OTTplay, the actor opened up on why voice acting is a tougher task than onscreen acting. He said, "I don’t just do dubbing, I do voice acting and that’s the difference. And this helps as an actor. Voice acting is more difficult because none of your body parts are seen and your expression is just through your voice. When you’re acting on camera, your eyes, your body or your whole face and even hair speak, in voicing nothing is there to support you so I think it’s much more difficult than normal acting."

The actor then revealed why this season is more special saying, "This season particularly is very very fun because we explored how Hanumanji got to know about his own powers and how he grew in his life, how he joined Shri Ram and now they’re at a war with Raavan. So this particular season, it’s more of Hanumanji Vs Raavan and their conversations and strategies and emotions. It’s more of Raavan this time and I really enjoyed acting for Raavan. It’s very fascinating for an actor like me to portray Raavan because it’s a multi-layered character."
