Actor Teja Sajja, who rose to nationwide fame with Prasanth Varma’s 2024 blockbuster HanuMan, has dismissed reports claiming that he has exited the film’s much-anticipated sequel, Jai Hanuman. The sequel, which will star Rishab Shetty in the titular role, has been the subject of speculation in recent days due to a lack of official updates, leading to widespread rumours about Teja’s alleged departure.
Earlier this week, several social media posts and reports suggested that Teja was no longer associated with Jai Hanuman. According to these claims, the actor had walked out of the project citing reasons such as limited screen time, creative differences, and a desire to distance himself from the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU). Some reports even hinted that Teja had become cautious about the roles he was choosing post the success of HanuMan.
