Iron man Everyone must have seen the Hollywood film ‘Iron Man’. This film has been made by Marvel Studios. The first film of the Iron Man franchise was released in 2008. After this, ‘Iron Man Two’ and ‘Iron Man Three’ also came. Apart from ‘Iron Man’, Marvel Studios made many great films of superheroes like ‘Spider Man’ and ‘Hulk’. Marvel Studios has shown many superheroes in action together in the film franchise named ‘Avengers’.
Meaning one story and many films. ‘Marvel’ first did this in the year 2012. When ‘Avengers’ was released. Many superheroes like ‘Iron Man’, ‘Captain America’, ‘Hulk’ and ‘Thor’ were seen together in this film. It was named ‘Marvel Universe’, but do you know, BR Chopra, the creator of Mahabharata, had adopted the name ‘Universe’ in the year 1988 itself.
Dara Singh became famous by becoming ‘Hanuman’
Actually, Ramanand Sagar made the TV serial ‘Ramayana’ in the year 1987. It is included in the list of most watched serials in terms of TV shows in India. The role of ‘Hanuman’ in ‘Ramayana’ was played by Bollywood actor Dara Singh. Dara Singh is no longer in this world, but even today when people mention the character of ‘Hanuman’, the first picture that comes to mind is Dara Singh.
At that time, Dara Singh became so popular in the role of ‘Hanuman’ that the actors playing the role of Hanuman in other serials or films looked dull. When ‘Ramayana’ serial ended, the next year i.e. in the month of October 1988, the first episode of BR Chopra’s ‘Mahabharata’ was telecasted. Initially people did not take much interest in it, but soon people got so addicted to ‘Mahabharata’ that when it was telecast on TV, the markets used to be closed. The streets became empty.
Talk about that episode which shocked everyone
In ‘Mahabharata’, when Pandavas live in exile, Bhima is leaving the forest for some work. During this time he meets an old monkey. Bhima asks the monkey to move his tail out of the way. On this the monkeys say that you yourself remove my tail and go away. When Bhima tries to remove the tail, he is unable to even move the monkey’s tail, let alone remove it. After many attempts, Bhima understands and with folded hands tells the monkey that you are not an ordinary monkey. Please show me in your true form.
Hearing Bhima’s words, the monkeys start laughing and appear before Bhima in his true form. This monkey is none other than Lord Hanuman. Dara Singh also plays this character of Hanuman in Mahabharata. It is said that at that time everyone was shocked to see this tremendous entry of Dara Singh in Mahabharata. People are very happy to see Dara Singh in the role of Hanuman again. People say that after the telecast of this episode, everyone was only talking about Dara Singh. It was exactly like how people are shocked to see ‘Chellam Sir’ of ‘The Family Man’ web series in Raj & DK’s ‘Farzi’ web series. If the word ‘Universe’ used for films was in trend then, people would have named it Ramanand Sagar or BR Chopra Universe.
