Prasanth Varma shot to fame with the blockbuster Hanu-Man and quickly became one of Tollywood’s most sought-after directors. He has now begun the next chapter with Jai Hanuman, casting Rishab Shetty as Lord Hanuman.

After much delay, the film was finally launched at Anjanadri Betta, a location widely regarded as the birthplace of Lord Hanuman, making the occasion even more special. The team held a traditional pooja at the sacred site. Rishab Shetty, his wife, Teja Sajja and director Prasanth Varma attended in traditional attire and took part in the ceremony.

Backed by Mythri Movie Makers, the project is being mounted on a large scale. There is also talk that Rana Daggubati may appear in a key role, though nothing has been confirmed yet. More details about the shooting schedule are expected soon.
