With its intriguing climax hinting at a sequel titled Jai Hanuman, fans eagerly await its release in 2025. However, recent reports suggest the sequel may face a significant delay before hitting the big screens.
For those unaware, HanuMan premiered in theaters on January 12, 2024, coinciding with Sankranti’s release. Produced by Primeshow Entertainment and directed by Prasanth Varma, the film had a budget of $4.7 million. The cast includes Teja Sajja, Amritha Aiyer, Varalakshmi, and Vinay Rai. The storyline revolves around an ordinary man who gains superpowers from a gem containing Lord Hanuman’s blood. For those eager to watch the first installment, it is available to stream on Prime Video and Zee5.
Is Jai Hanuman postponed to 2026?
As per recent updates from 123telugu.com, the release of Jai Hanuman has been postponed to 2026, contrary to earlier expectations of a 2025 release. Furthermore, Prasanth Varma is currently occupied with a film featuring Ranveer Singh, scheduled for release in 2025. Once this project wraps up, Varma will shift his focus to Jai Hanuman.
To mark the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, filmmaker Prasanth unveiled a new poster of Jai Hanuman. The poster depicts Lord Hanuman facing off against a fire-breathing dragon, hinting at an epic battle in the sequel. Notably, Jai Hanuman is set to be released in IMAX 3D, promising audiences a unique cinematic experience.
Earlier speculations suggested that Yash might portray Lord Hanuman in the sequel, but Yash’s team debunked these rumors. Instead, Teja Sajja will reportedly play the role of Lord Hanuman’s devotee rather than leading the sequel. According to reports from the Times of India, director Prasanth Varma is considering veteran actors like Chiranjeevi or Mahesh Babu for the lead role in the sequel.
As anticipation builds, fans eagerly await the finalization of the cast and the release of the first teaser for Jai Hanuman.
