Mumbai, April 1: On the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, devotees celebrate the birth of Lord Hanuman, a symbol of devotion, courage, and strength. The tales of Hanuman from the Ramayana have inspired many actors to portray this iconic character on screen, captivating audiences with their performances.
Among these actors is the late Dara Singh, a renowned wrestler and actor. He first played Hanuman in the 1976 film “Bajrangi,” and later became a household name for his role in the 1987 television series “Ramayan,” directed by Ramanand Sagar. Standing over six feet tall and weighing around 127 kilograms, Dara Singh embodied the strength of Hanuman.

Vindoo Dara Singh, following in his father’s footsteps, also portrayed Hanuman in “Jai Veer Hanuman” and “Vishnu Puran.”
