Following its successful theatrical run, the film garnered widespread acclaim for its seamless integration of mythological nuances. Initially known to be a low-key movie, ‘HanuMan’ impressed audiences with its brilliant special effects, VFX, and grandiose setting despite its modest budget. This low-budget but high-impact film has surpassed expectations, garnering rave reviews and amassing a staggering box office collection of over 3 Million USD. ‘HanuMan’ is now available in Telugu exclusively on ZEE5 Global with English subtitles for non-Telugu speaking audience to enjoy the original language experience because Asli bhasha mein asli mazaa hai.
In ‘HanuMan,’ viewers are taken on a journey to Anjanadri, where the protagonist, Hanumanthu (Teja Sajja), discovers he has acquired supernatural abilities akin to those of the mythological figure Hanuman. As Hanumanthu grapples with his newfound powers, Michael (Vinay Rai), fueled by envy and ambition, becomes determined to possess the same abilities at any cost. The storyline weaves together elements of fantasy and drama as HanuMan and Michael clash in a battle for supremacy over Anjanadri. As the fate of Anjanadri hangs in the balance, audiences will be on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the ultimate showdown between these two formidable forces.
