‘HanuMan’ transports viewers to the imaginary village of Anjanadri, where Hanumanthu, played by Teja, gets the powers of Hanuman and fights for Anjanadri.

It's in an Indian storytelling template and has songs, emotions, and everything that audiences across the country connect with. While some audiences may perceive mythological tales as slow or predictable, we've infused 'HanuMan' with an array of interesting elements to keep viewers thoroughly engaged.”

Portraying Hanumanthu has been a deeply gratifying experience. The widespread appreciation, not just from Telugu audiences but from across the country, is truly heartening.
