Disney+ Hotstar Releases Trailer for The Legend of Hanuman Season 4

Mumbai, 27th May 2024: Sankat Te Hanuman Chhudavaye! Gear up for the clash of the mighty titans in an all-new season of The Legend of Hanuman on Disney+ Hotstar. Turning up the heat, the new season will showcase Kumbhkaran unleashing his monstrous power, Indrajeet’s deadly schemes, and Ahiravan’s dark plans, while Hanuman empowers his powerful vanar sena for a battle like never before. This thrilling new chapter, crafted by the creative genius of Graphic India’s Sharad Devarajan and Jeevan J. Kang, features the powerful voice of Sharad Kelkar as Ravan and Daman Singh as Hanuman amongst others. The epic saga will continue on Disney+ Hotstar streaming 5th June onwards with a new episode every week!

Sharad Devarajan, Co-Founder and CEO of Graphic India, and a Creator and Executive Producer of the much-awaited new season of The Legend of Hanuman, shared his thoughts, “Pushing the boundaries of original Indian animation is the passion and driving force behind Graphic India. With every season of The Legend of Hanuman, we strive not only to push the boundaries of animation but also to delve deeper into the spiritual truths that make this tale so timeless. This season, as Lord Hanuman faces off against the mighty warriors of Lanka, including the colossal Kumbhakaran, we explore the profound themes of duty, sacrifice, and the power of unwavering devotion. The visually earth-shattering battles serve as a backdrop for a powerful narrative that speaks to the very essence of the human condition. Through Hanuman’s journey, we are reminded that true strength lies not in physical power, but in the courage to stand firm in our convictions and the compassion to uplift those around us. We invite audiences across India and the world to embark on this next transformative chapter, to be inspired by Hanuman’s example, and to discover the divine wisdom that resonates within us all, exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar.”

Popular actor and the voice of Ravan in the new season of The Legend of Hanuman, Sharad Kelkar, said, “I am a huge fan of animation, and The Legend of Hanuman holds a special place in my heart. Voicing characters in animated series has always been a favorite of mine because it helps me grow as an artist. Ravan, in particular, is a legendary character, representing a rarely explored side of the spectrum on screen. In this season, Ravan’s battle is more challenging as he faces not only the vanar sena but also faces loss and sacrifice. Bringing that agony and pain to life in the voice required introspection and new preparation compared to previous seasons. Once the audience watches this season, they’ll not only see his emotions but also hear them. Sharad Devarajan, Disney+ Hotstar, and Graphic India have done an exceptional job portraying this iconic character. With the trailer now released, I can’t wait for audiences to experience this new chapter of Hanuman’s adventures on Disney+ Hotstar and witness a battle like never before!”

India’s largest multi-institutional study shows the benefits of robotic partial nephrectomy

Mumbai, 27th May 2024 – Intuitive, a global technology leader in minimally invasive care and the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery today announced the findings of India’s largest collaborative and multi-institutional study on robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) using the da Vinci surgical system. In collaboration with 14 government and private centers across India, the study supports the use of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in surgery for renal masses. This retrospective study utilized data from 800 patient cases spanning the last 12 years, marking a significant milestone in India’s landscape for urological care.

The aim of this study, the first of its kind in India, was to validate the value and benefits of using the da Vinci surgical system in RAPN in India, providing comprehensive insights into the procedure’s efficacy and safety across diverse patient demographics and tumor complexities.

“In India, there has been a need for robust and high-quality data on robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy outcomes tailored to our population,” said Dr. Sudhir Rawal, Director, and Head of the Department of Genito Uro Oncology Services, at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre.

“Our study results help fill this gap by providing insights into the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy across diverse patient demographics and tumor complexities. This will help provide trained surgeons the confidence in choosing robotic-assisted surgery for renal masses, for better clinical outcomes, said Dr Rawal.”

“The results of this study are significant,” said Swati Gupta, Marketing Director at Intuitive India. “The data demonstrates the potential of the da Vinci system in improving patient outcomes for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy in India and lays the groundwork for further advancements in robotic surgery nationwide. Collaboration with leading Indian institutions and surgeons has provided valuable insights specific to the Indian patient population. Going forward, this knowledge will be crucial in refining surgical techniques and expanding access to minimally invasive robotic surgery for more patients. We are proud to have contributed to this important research and look forward to its positive impact on patient care in India,” she added.

Key findings from the study include:

• · Perioperative Outcomes: RAPN using da Vinci demonstrated favorable perioperative outcomes, with a median operative time of 180 minutes and a median estimated blood loss of 100 ml. The mean warm ischemia time (WIT) was 22.7 minutes, with a low conversion rate to open surgery (0.4%) and a manageable complication rate where the majority of complications were minor grade.
• · Functional Outcomes: RAPN using da Vinci showed promising functional outcomes, with mean serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels stabilizing postoperatively. Trifecta and perfecta outcomes were achieved in 61.4% and 60% of patients, respectively, highlighting the procedure’s efficacy in preserving renal function.
• · Comparative Analysis: The study compared favorably with international benchmarks, demonstrating comparable outcomes to previous multicentric analyses while reflecting the real-world scenario with centers of varying volumes and surgeon expertise.

“While partial nephrectomy has emerged as the preferred treatment approach for renal masses, our study supports the efficacy of using the da Vinci system in India for these procedures,” said Dr Rawal. “By establishing a comprehensive database of clinical outcomes, we aim to pave the way for further advancements in this area tailored to our population.”

The results presented in this study demonstrate strong support for an advanced technology, RAPN, establishing its safety and efficacy. This study showcases and reinforces the value and benefits of RAPN to the healthcare community at large.
