Director Prasanth Varma‘s much-awaited original superhero movie, “HanuMan,” is generating high anticipation among audiences. Starring Teja Sajja in the titular role, the film has garnered significant attention, especially following the recent setback of Prabhas’ “Adipurush.” Today, the director thrilled fans by announcing the new release date for the film, which is set to hit cinema halls on January 12, coinciding with the auspicious festival of Sankranthi.
Taking to Twitter, Prasanth Varma shared a new poster of “HanuMan” along with the official release date. Initially slated for release on May 12, 2023, the film underwent postponements due to extensive work in filming, visual effects, and computer-generated graphics (CCG). The director aims to deliver the best possible output for this ambitious project. With its new release date, “HanuMan” has now joined the Sankranthi league, alongside other big-ticket movies like Mahesh Babu’s “Guntur Kaaram” and Ravi Teja’s “Eagle.” Mahesh Babu has consistently released his films during the Sankranthi period for the past three years, setting blockbuster records at the box office. The simultaneous release of these three highly anticipated Telugu films during Sankranthi is a matter of eager anticipation, although it may pose a challenge for theatre owners to accommodate them all.
