Pragati Shetty Joins ‘Jai Hanuman’ as Producer, Boosts Pan-India Buzz
The film’s muhurat puja was held on February 22, 2026, at Anjanadri Betta, widely believed to be the birthplace of Lord Hanuman.
Pragati Shetty, wife of acclaimed actor-filmmaker Rishab Shetty, has officially come on board as one of the producers for the highly anticipated pan-India film Jai Hanuman, backing the project alongside Mythri Movie Makers. Her entry marks a notable expansion of the production team and adds fresh momentum to the ambitious venture.
Pragati Shetty is expected to play a significant role in shaping the film’s production, actively contributing to its overall execution. Her involvement has already generated considerable buzz in industry circles, further strengthening the scale and expectations surrounding the film, which is part of the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe.
The film’s muhurat puja was held on February 22, 2026, at Anjanadri Betta, widely believed to be the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. The sacred launch ceremony saw lead actor Teja Sajja and the core team in attendance, formally kickstarting the project.
Coming off the massive success of Kantara, Rishab Shetty’s association—through Pragati Shetty—brings creative credibility and production strength to the film. The collaboration between Mythri’s large-scale production expertise and the Shetty family’s vision is expected to significantly elevate the film’s quality and reach.
Meanwhile, Rishab Shetty is also set to make his Tollywood debut with Jai Hanuman, aiming to expand his popularity beyond Sandalwood and connect with a wider Telugu audience.
