About Jai Hanuman
Jai Hanuman dives into the heart of Kaliyug, portraying Hanuman in Agnyathavas—a period of silent exile, awaiting the call to fulfil his vow to Shri Ram. This portrayal promises to highlight Hanuman’s resilience and his unbreakable vow, with themes of devotion and loyalty woven into a high-octane action epic.On Diwali 2024, Rishab shared his look as Hanuman on social media. Holding an idol of Lord Ram close to his heart, his first look sparked curiosity and excitement among fans. Sharing the poster, the actor wrote, A vow from the Tretayuga, bound to be fulfilled in the Kaliyuga, We bring forth an epic of loyalty, courage and devotion. Extremely happy to collaborate with Director @prasanthvarma and Producers @mythriofficial (sic).”Earlier this year, Rishab told Pinkvilla, "Prasanth Varma has done a fabulous job on the script. The story is so interesting, I thought there shouldn't be any commitment before this, let's finish it and then see and then do something. When Prashant Verma came and told me the story, I couldn't refuse. Immediately, I told him, 'yes, let's do this.' After that, we did a photoshoot, and its work is also going on. After the release of Kantara, we'll fix a date and start."Produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar,
Jai Hanuman is expected to push technical and creative boundaries, bringing audiences a fresh take on one of mythology's most enduring legends.
