Released on January 12 during the Sankranti festival, ‘HanuMan’, directed by Prasanth Varma and starring Teja Sajja, faced stiff competition from Mahesh Babu’s ‘Guntu Kaaram’. However, it emerged as the box office winner, grossing over Rs 350 crore. Even two months after its release, the film continues to garner praise for its remarkable achievements.
‘HanuMan’ follows the journey of Hanumanth, a petty thief who discovers a mystical gem under the sea, granting him invincibility and the powers of the Hindu deity Hanuman from the epic Ramayana. Praised for its visuals and gripping narrative, the film features Teja Sajja alongside Amirtha Iyer, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, and Vinay Rai in pivotal roles.
Prasanth has announced plans to turn ‘HanuMan’ into a franchise, intending to create multiple superhero films based on Hindu mythology.
