Prasanth Varma’s much-awaited film Jai Hanuman, starring National Award winner Rishab Shetty, was officially launched today in a traditional and grand ceremony at Anjanadri Betta in Hampi, Vijayanagara. The sacred hill is widely believed to be the birthplace of Lord Hanuman, making it a spiritually significant venue for the film’s inauguration. Backed by Mythri Movie Makers and presented by T-Series, the project marks the next major chapter in the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe after the pan-Indian success of HanuMan.
The launch event brought together key figures from the Indian film industry. Bhushan Kumar sounded the clapboard for the inaugural shot, while Anil Thadani switched on the camera. The first shot was directed by Teja Sajja, the lead actor of HanuMan. In a symbolic moment, Bhushan Kumar, Anil Thadani, Naveen Yerneni, and Ravi Shankar formally handed over the script to director Prasanth Varma, marking the beginning of the film’s journey. With pre-production already in progress, the makers confirmed that regular shooting will begin soon.
Rishab Shetty steps into the powerful role of Lord Hanuman in Jai Hanuman, and his casting has significantly raised expectations across India. Following the nationwide acclaim for Kantara Chapter 1, the actor is undergoing a rigorous physical and performance transformation to portray the iconic character with authenticity and depth. The makers had earlier unveiled his first-look poster, which received a strong response for its divine and intense visual tone.
Jai Hanuman is designed as a high-energy action epic set in the present age, blending mythology with contemporary storytelling. The film explores the idea that Hanuman’s silence represents purpose, not surrender, and that his hidden strength is destined to rise when the time is right. Rooted in themes of devotion, loyalty, courage, and timeless power, the film aims to present a modern cinematic tribute to an immortal spirit while appealing to a wide audience across regions and languages.
Produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar on a massive scale, the film is being mounted with top-tier technical standards to deliver a visually rich and emotionally engaging cinematic experience. The technical team includes Academy Award winner M.M. Keeravani as the music composer, S Thirunavukkarasu as the cinematographer, and Srinagendhra Thangala as the production designer. The makers promise high production values, powerful visuals, and a strong emotional core, positioning Jai Hanuman as one of the most anticipated Indian films in the coming years.
With a successful franchise behind it, a National Award-winning lead actor, and a proven director known for blending mythology with modern narratives, Jai Hanuman is already creating strong buzz across the film industry and among audiences. The film’s launch at Anjanadri, Hampi, has further added to the spiritual and cultural significance of the project, setting the tone for an ambitious cinematic journey ahead.
