After the resounding success of HanuMan, which not only became a box-office hit but also clinched National Awards for Best Film in AVGC and Best Stunt Choreography, filmmaker Prasanth Varma is all set to take his ambitious mythological superhero universe to the next level with Jai Hanuman.

A Sequel with Bigger Ambitions
Jai Hanuman is the much-awaited follow-up in the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU). While HanuMan introduced audiences to a modern-day hero blessed by divine powers, this sequel shifts focus directly to Lord Hanuman, bringing mythology to the forefront in a cinematic style never attempted before.
The film is being mounted on a massive scale, with cutting-edge visual effects and sequences planned for IMAX 3D, promising an immersive theatrical experience.
Cast and Crew
Director: Prasanth Varma, continuing his world-building vision.
Lead: Rishab Shetty, who stunned audiences with Kantara, takes on the monumental role of Lord Hanuman.
Franchise Star: Teja Sajja, who headlined HanuMan, is also expected to play a part in the story’s expansion.
Production: Backed by Mythri Movie Makers, ensuring the film gets the scale and reach it deserves.
Themes and Expectations
So far, the glimpses released through concept art and posters highlight Hanuman’s cosmic battles, including a face-off with mythical creatures like dragons. A recurring theme teased in the campaign is the fulfillment of a “promise made in Tretayuga, to be delivered in Kaliyuga.”
This suggests that the film will explore the eternal presence of Hanuman across eras, blending devotion, power, and timeless mythology.
Diwali Teaser Buzz
Insiders from the film unit suggest that a brand-new teaser may be released this Diwali (2025). If true, it would mark a strategic move, given how festival releases tend to maximize hype and audience engagement.
Given how HanuMan created momentum with a Hanuman Jayanti teaser last year, a Diwali release seems like the perfect way to keep the buzz alive.
Challenges Ahead
While expectations are massive, the film also faces key challenges:
Respecting mythology while innovating with cinematic liberties.
Delivering world-class VFX that can stand up to global standards.
Surpassing the benchmark set by HanuMan, which has already become a fan-favorite.
With Jai Hanuman, Prasanth Varma is not just making another sequel — he is cementing the foundation of India’s first mythological superhero cinematic universe. If the Diwali teaser does release as speculated, fans across the country will get their first real glimpse into this epic vision.
For now, all eyes remain on Diwali — when Hanuman may once again roar on screen, reminding audiences why devotion and power can truly go hand in hand.
