Writer-director Vishal Chaturvedi celebrates Hyderabad’s devotion to Lord Hanuman as Hanuman Ansh expands into Telugu cinema following its reported ₹400 crore box-office success.
The Hanuman Ansh Telugu release has attracted attention following a press conference in Hyderabad. Writer-director Vishal Chaturvedi praised the city’s strong devotion to Lord Hanuman. He also thanked Telugu audiences for their growing demand for the film.
Meanwhile, Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers praised the film’s reported box-office success. He described Hanuman Ansh as a true pan-Indian film and encouraged its makers to explore more language releases.
Vishal Chaturvedi Calls Hyderabad the Land of Hanuman
During the press conference, Vishal Chaturvedi shared his admiration for Hyderabad’s religious traditions. He said the city’s devotion to Lord Hanuman had deeply impressed him.
“Hyderabad is the land of Hanuman. Whenever I come to Hyderabad or nearby places, I see tall, tall Hanuman murtis every few kilometres,” he said.
Moreover, Chaturvedi admitted that his visits to South India changed his understanding of Hanuman devotion.
“I thought we are the bigger Hanuman bhakts in the North, but when I came here, I felt Hanuman ji is everywhere,” he added.
His remarks highlighted the strong cultural and spiritual connection shared by devotees across different regions of India.
Telugu Audience Demand Drives the Film’s Expansion
The Hanuman Ansh Telugu release comes after growing demand from regional audiences. Many viewers wanted to experience the devotional story in their own language.
“There is so much demand from Telugu audiences that we had to serve them,” Chaturvedi said.
As a result, the filmmakers decided to bring the Hindi-language film to Telugu-speaking viewers.
Furthermore, the move reflects the growing reach of devotional cinema. Stories rooted in faith can connect with audiences beyond language and regional boundaries.
Vishal Chaturvedi Thanks Hombale Films
Chaturvedi also thanked those who supported the film’s Telugu release.
He expressed gratitude to Javed Sir and Hombale Films for helping bring the project from Mumbai to Hyderabad.
Additionally, their support helped the filmmakers respond to Telugu audience demand.
The collaboration marks another step in expanding the film’s reach across India.
Hanuman Ansh Reportedly Earns ₹400 Crore
Meanwhile, the film’s reported box-office performance became a major talking point at the event.
According to figures discussed during the press conference, Hanuman Ansh reportedly collected ₹400 crore against a production budget of ₹2 crore.
However, these figures have not been independently verified.
If confirmed, the numbers would represent a remarkable commercial achievement for a relatively low-budget production.
Ravi Shankar Praises Hanuman Ansh’s Success
Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers reacted strongly to the film’s reported earnings.
Describing the achievement as “a slap on our face,” he compared its performance with the uncertainty surrounding expensive productions.
“Though we are spending crores of money, we aren’t sure how much the films will earn,” he said.
His remarks highlighted how smaller films can sometimes deliver impressive results. Strong audience interest can play an important role, regardless of production budgets.
Ravi Shankar Calls Hanuman Ansh a Real Pan-Indian Film
Furthermore, Ravi Shankar praised the film’s ability to connect with audiences across India.
“Hanuman Ansh is the real PAN-Indian film,” he said.
He also encouraged the filmmakers to expand the movie into additional regional languages.
“I request the makers to release it in whatever language possible,” he added.
His comments reflected confidence in the film’s wider appeal. However, the makers have not confirmed any further language releases in the information provided.
Hanuman Ansh Continues Its Pan-India Journey
With its Telugu release, Hanuman Ansh is reaching beyond its original Hindi-language audience.
The film’s devotional themes may help it connect with viewers from different cultural backgrounds. Moreover, its reported commercial success has increased industry interest.
For Vishal Chaturvedi, the Hyderabad event also offered an opportunity to celebrate the city’s faith and thank its audiences.
As the film expands into Telugu cinema, attention now turns to its reception in the region.
