‘HanuMan’ director Prasanth Varma along with the film’s producers aim to transform the cinematic experience into a gateway for audiences to explore Indian scriptures and mythology.

The plan includes introducing new characters and helping spark interest in Indian scriptures among the younger generation.

Talking about the scale of the film’s canvas and the long-term vision, producer R. K. Duggal said:, “Hanuman is probably the most important film of our library. Prasanth, the producers, and our team have worked for over two years for the development of this project. My team is very emotionally attached to this film, and we are hoping that the audiences will love what we have come together to create.”

“It is not just one film, it is an entire universe of superheroes that the director is trying to create based on Indian Itihasas (history).”

Explaining the film’s ability to travel far and wide,...

Director Prasanth Varma, who is awaiting the release of his upcoming superhero film ‘HanuMan’, has shared that during his childhood, he always got spiders on his hand thinking it would bite him and he would become Spiderman.

The director recently shared that he always wanted to make a superhero film, but he never had that market. Being a “small filmmaker” in Telugu, his films were critically and commercially successful, but it was not enough to make a superhero film.

He said: “I was trying different genres. I’ve done a psychological thriller; an investigative drama and I’ve done a zombie film. But I always wanted to get into this superhero universe. So then after the big success of ‘Zombie Reddy’, I was confident enough that I could make a superhero film and market it well so that we could make that money.”

“When we thought we should make a superhero film,...

Director Prasanth Varma has opened up on what inspired him to make the superhero movie ‘HanuMan’’, and shared how there are influences of ‘Bhartiya Itihas’ in all his works. Prasanth was in the national capital to promote the movie, along with the lead actor Teja Sajja.

Talking to media, the director said: “I was taught itihas as a subject in school, and I was very passionate about those stories, and those characters.’

“Those characters used to be around me like all the time. And there are many great characters and lot of quality this generation can adapt from those characters. They are very motivational, inspirational for the current generation,” said Prasanth.

Prasanth is known for his works like ‘Awe’, ‘Kalki’, and ‘Zombie Reddy’.

He continued saying, “I have done a zombie film, a psychological thriller, an investigative film, there are references to our itihas- for example names of the characters.

As Children’s Day Treat from director Prasanth Varma and the whole team of ‘HanuMan’, the makers have released a Children’s Day special song with an animated video called ‘Superhero HanuMan’.

An extremely tongue-in-cheek and deliberately childish song, it is both witty, as well as totally self-aware as it mocks standard superhero tropes.

The song is sung by the duo of Sai Veda Vagdevi, and Prakruthi Reddy. Penned by Kumaar, who also wrote lyrics for Srk’s mega-blockbuster ‘Jawan’, the song is extremely fun and light hearted, and while the vocals and instrumentation are really good, the lyrics may just be the best part.

Normally this would be called cringe or irritating, but its tongue-in-cheek humour really sets the track apart as one by one it tears every popular superhero from Marvel and DC to shreds. As Sai and Prakruthi sing in a very childish manner about how powerful...
