Creative Director Prasanth Varma's first film from his Cinematic Universe HANU-MAN starring talented hero Teja Sajja gets a new release date. As announced by the makers, the most-awaited Pan India film will be hitting the screens for Sankranthi on January 12, 2024.
The movie will have extensive CGI work which is causing the delay. The production works were already wrapped up and post-production works are underway. A team of proficient are working on the VFX work of the movie and the makers are carving it in an uncompromised manner.
High-budgeted films require a good season or perfect release date for release so that they will have a strong and long theatrical run. Sankranthi is the biggest season and the makers too get enough time for the remaining work and also to promote the movie at the Pan India level. The release date poster features the protagonist Teja Sajja jumping from one hill to another with a Hanuman flag in his hand. This displays the superpowers possessed by the underdog with the blessings of Lord Hanuman.
The teaser which had top-notch visual effects received an overwhelming response across the country. The Hanuman Chalisa with artwork too was well-received.
