'Hanuman' has emerged as a sweet sensation in Tollywood's Sankranti 2024 lineup, surprising everyone with its massive success. Initially anticipated to be a hit, it soared beyond expectations, reaching blockbuster status akin to Baahubali. With a staggering gross of Rs. 300 crores, it etched its name among the highest-grossing films in Telugu cinema history. Riding on this triumph, the announcement of 'Jai Hanuman' as a sequel followed promptly, signaling a serious commitment to its development. Unlike mere announcements, tangible progress is evident, with the completion of the script and commencement of pre-production activities.

The narrative of 'Anjanadri 2.0' in 'Hanuman' unfolds in the picturesque yet fictional village of Anjanadri, meticulously crafted by director Prashant Verma.

A sneak peek teases this evolution, featuring boats gliding gracefully across the waters. While 'Hanuman' predominantly unfolds in the backdrop of Anjanadri, the sequel hints at a deeper exploration of its rivers and waterfalls. Director Prashant Verma, in a tweet, welcomes audiences to experience 'Anjanadri 2.0', hinting at an enriched cinematic journey.

Excitement mounts as Ugadi approaches, with expectations of a significant update on 'Jai Hanuman'. Director Prashant Verma's tweet hints at a potential unveiling during the Telugu New Year celebrations on April 9th, teasing fans with the promise of a substantial reveal.

Amidst speculation, it's hinted that a prominent Tollywood star may step into the iconic role of Hanuman, though the identity remains shrouded in secrecy.

Meanwhile, 'Hanuman' gains momentum in the realm of OTT, clocking an impressive 207 million streaming minutes within its first five days on G5.
