Ever since ‘Jai Hanuman’ was announced during the grand Pran Pratishtha celebrations at Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir, the buzz around the project has only intensified.

Now, with this powerful collaboration between some of Indian cinema’s most respected names, expectations are sky-high.

The film is being directed by Prasanth Varma, the man behind the surprise hit ‘HanuMan’. Known for his unique blend of mythology and cutting-edge visuals, Varma is all set to take the audience on another awe-inspiring ride.

Sharing his vision, he said, “‘Jai Hanuman’ is not just a film—it’s a heartfelt tribute to devotion, strength, and faith. We’re combining mythological grandeur with modern storytelling techniques to make something truly unforgettable.”

Rishab Shetty, who captivated audiences nationwide with his raw, rooted performance in ‘Kantara’, now steps into the divine role of Lord Hanuman in ‘Jai Hanuman’. His casting alone is enough to pique curiosity, given his knack for emotionally intense and culturally rich roles.
