Rishab Shetty Embodies Lord Hanuman
The film ‘Jai Hanuman,’ directed by Prashanth Varma, has been launched with immense grandeur at Anjanadri, the revered birthplace of Lord Hanuman. The project marks the official commencement of work on the sequel by Varma, who garnered nationwide recognition with his blockbuster film ‘Hanuman.’ On February 22, a magnificent Pooja ceremony was held at Anjanadri Betta in Hampi, attended by the film’s crew and several prominent personalities who sought divine blessings.
‘Kantara’ fame Rishab Shetty is set to portray Lord Hanuman in this highly anticipated film, a casting choice that has already significantly elevated expectations. Rishab graced the launch event with his wife, both elegantly dressed in traditional attire, his presence further amplifying the excitement surrounding the project. While Teja Sajja played an ordinary person in the first installment, Prashanth Varma has crafted the story for ‘Jai Hanuman‘ around the compelling premise of Lord Hanuman himself descending into Kali Yuga. Fans express strong belief that a powerful actor like Rishab Shetty will breathe authentic life into this character. Reports also suggest that Daggubati Rana will be seen in a pivotal role in this ambitious project.
Mythri Movie Makers is producing the film with a massive budget, ensuring no compromises in its creation. Director Prashanth Varma is developing an entirely new world for this sequel, dubbed ‘Anjanadri 2.0,’ with graphics and visuals planned to be ten times grander than those in the first part. Regular shooting for this grand mythological action drama is scheduled to commence in April. The original ‘Hanuman,’ made with a modest budget of 40 crores, astonishingly grossed over 300 crores worldwide. Prashanth Varma has stated that, shouldering the responsibility of that success, his goal is to deliver a visual wonder that surpasses its predecessor. He is determined to elevate Indian superhero cinema to a global scale by blending spirituality with modern technology. The Pooja ceremony on Anjanadri hill officially signifies the beginning of this new cinematic journey.
