Dara Singh has been blessed for bringing Lord Hanuman to life in his portrayal by doing the films — Jai Bajrang Bali and both the mega serials Ramayana and Mahabharata.
His tradition was followed by his son Vindu Dara Singh, who too had the honour of playing Hanuman in Jai Veer Hanuman, Vishnu Puran, Bhagwatam, Jai Maa Vaishnudevi, Ramdasu and now for the last time, according to him in the film Maruti Mera Dost. When we quiz him as to why would this be his last portrayal of the Lord Hanuman he says, “God had blessed my family but now it was the turn of others, as this was turning to be a monopoly in the Singh household.”
