Hanu-Man Joins Sankranti Box Office Race

New-age director Prashanth Varma, who is making a huge socio-fantasy, 'Hanu-Man' with young hero Teja Sajja in the lead, will be releasing his film on January 12, 2024 along with a few other big stars. Amritha Aiyer plays the female lead and it is being produced by K Niranjan Reddy. The film which completed its shooting part is presently in the post-production stage.

Justifying his decision, director Prashant Varma told Deccan Chronicle,  "We moved to Sankranthi because we wanted our film to be watched by families since ours is a socio-fantasy with Hanuman ji element. We are hoping to cash in on holiday crowds.”

Isn’t he worried about competition from big stars, “I checked out with distributors and found that maybe one or two big films would be released but not all biggies. Also we are a bit confident about our film. Even in the past, both big and small films minted money during Sankranthi, so we wish to repeat the same,” he adds.
