Malhar Pandya Embraces the Role of Suryadev in Veer Hanuman
Malhar Pandya's Journey in Mythological Roles
Malhar Pandya, known for his portrayal of Suryadev in the series Veer Hanuman, has a rich history of playing mythological characters. With over ten years in the industry, he has taken on pivotal roles in various shows, including Ramayan, Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, Suryaputra Karn, Radha Krishn, and Shrimad Ramayan. Despite his extensive experience, he chooses to maintain a low profile, allowing his performances to speak volumes.
In his current role as Suryadev, Pandya finds the transition fascinating. He shares, “The essence of Suryadev has subtly influenced my life through the characters I've previously portrayed.”
To prepare for this divine character, he delved into ancient scriptures to grasp Suryadev's celestial presence. “I focused on voice modulation, body language, and facial expressions to embody his strength and elegance. The most significant physical challenge is managing the intricate costume, particularly the crown and wig, for extended periods,” he notes. Remarkably, he can immerse himself in the character within just 25 minutes. While mythological series have been a cornerstone of his career, he regards Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki as a pivotal moment. “Playing the complex character of Pawan Malhotra, who had shades of grey, truly connected with the audience and made it a memorable experience for me,” he adds.
