What do we know about Jai HanuMan?

Jai HanuMan has been in the news ever since the release of HanuMan starring Teja Sajja in the lead role. The film shows how a small-town boy Hanumanthu from Anjanadri gets the powers of Lord HanuMan and uses them to fight against evil. While the film keeps you hooked throughout, its climax stuns its viewers by bringing Lord Hanuman from the Himalayas. It teases a war at the end, a war between the good and evil.
