HanuMan Makers To Donate ₹2.66 Crores To Ayodhya Ram Mandir

HanuMan, starring Teja Sajja, made its theatrical debut on January 12. Claimed to be among the most successful films of the year so far, the movie was released in several languages in India. It drew inspiration from Hindu mythology and stories about Lord Hanuman and now after its box office success, the makers intend to return part of that love by giving a large donation to the Ayodhya Ram Mandir.

Film's release date was decided much before Ram Mandir inauguration: Teja Sajja

In a recent interview with Republic Digital, Teja Sajja called HanuMan's release around the religious occasion a "divine intervention". The actor said, “This is a divine intervention. We planned to release the film on Sankranti, back in June only and Ram Mandir's inauguration wasn't announced yet. There was no fixed date for the ceremony at that time. But it all happened in such a way that everything fell into place. Just like divine intervention, Ram Mandir is opening on January 22. After knowing the date of the event, we didn't want to change the date."

Teja also revealed that the team has already donated the first day and premiere collection to the religious cause.
