Actor Malhar Pandya let’s his work speak

Malhar Pandya, currently portraying Suryadev in Veer Hanuman, is no stranger to mythological roles. With a career spanning over a decade, he has portrayed significant characters in shows like Ramayan, Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, Suryaputra Karn, Radha Krishn, and Shrimad Ramayan. However, he remains selective about his public presence, preferring to let his work speak for itself.

In Veer Hanuman, he takes on the divine role of Suryadev, a transition he finds intriguing. “Suryadev has influenced my life indirectly through my previous characters,” he says.

His preparation for the role involved studying ancient texts and understanding the divine aura of Suryadev. “I worked on my voice modulation, posture, and expressions to reflect his power and grace. Physically, the biggest challenge is carrying the elaborate costume, especially the crown and wig, for long hours,” he explains. Despite these challenges, he gets into the character in just 25 minutes. While mythological shows have been a significant part of his career, Pandya considers Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki as his landmark show. “I played a grey-shaded character, Pawan Malhotra, which resonated with the audience. The complexity of the character made it special for me,” he says.
