About HanuMan

HanuMan was released in theatres in January and later began streaming digitally on Zee 5. The film tells the story of a young man called Hanumanthu (Teja) who gains superpowers after coming across a totem in his village. How he stands up for his people against a capitalistic villain (Vinay Rai) with the help of his sister (Varalaxmi Sarathkumar) and lover (Amritha Aiyer) forms the tale.

The film’s sequel Jai Hanuman is currently in pre-production. The filmmakers are yet to announce who has been cast in the titular role. The film will take the story forward from where HanuMan was left off. Prasanth also announced another film in his cinematic universe called Adhira, starring Kalyan Dasari. The film will seemingly delve into Lord Indira’s lore and it remains to be seen how it connects to HanuMan.
