HanuMan just crossed its 50-day mark at the theatres


Team HanuMan recently celebrated a glorious 50-day run at the theatres. A media event commemorating the feat was also organised by the makers. The event saw director Prasanth Varma open up about why it is important to celebrate each feat achieved by the film.

He said, "t’s been long since I’ve seen 50 days celebrations. The success changes the lives of many who work for the movie. It is very important to tell the people that this kind of movie will run for 50 days. This will inspire many. My first movie Awe won critical accolades and was a commercial success. We didn’t celebrate, as we took it for granted. We didn’t celebrate the success, which sent a wrong message that it was not a hit..." A sequel to the film by the name of Jai HanuMan is currently in the works.
