A new mythological tentpole is officially in motion, and the makers chose a location steeped in devotion to mark the moment. Jai Hanuman, starring National Award winner Rishab Shetty as Lord Hanuman, has gone on floors following a grand muhurat puja held at Anjanadri Betta, a site widely revered as the birthplace of Anjaneya.
The film brings together producer Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Telugu powerhouse Mythri Movie Makers, headed by producers Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar, in a pan-India collaboration that signals serious scale and ambition. Director Prasanth Varma, who has been building his own myth-meets-modern cinematic universe, was also present for the ceremony alongside T-Series’ Shiv Chanana. HanuMan star Teja Sajja joined the team on the auspicious day as well, underlining the connective tissue between the titles.
