Exclusive: Jai Hanuman Shoot Begins In Hyderabad

After a prolonged pre-production phase, the much-awaited Jai Hanuman, featuring Rishab Shetty as Lord Hanuman, has reportedly gone on floors in Hyderabad. The film's shooting is said to have begun at a specially erected set inside a swanky studio in the city.

“They have created a special set for this mythological fantasy drama, and the shoot is progressing well,” says a source. The film was officially launched in February, but it took the team some time to move into production. “Director Prasanth Varma was deeply involved in the pre-production work and wanted to get every detail right. Now, the focus is on executing the film on a grand scale, as expectations are very high,” the source adds.

The combination itself has generated considerable excitement. Prasanth Varma, who earned nationwide recognition for his distinctive approach to superhero storytelling and mythology, is joining hands with Mythri Movie Makers for this ambitious project. Rishab Shetty's presence has further raised expectations, especially after the nationwide success and acclaim of Kantara Chapter 1.

The makers had earlier introduced Rishab Shetty as Lord Hanuman through an impressive first-look poster that captured the character's divinity and immense strength.

The actor is also said to be undergoing a demanding physical transformation to bring authenticity to the role.

Jai Hanuman is envisioned as a grand action epic set in Kaliyug, exploring the timeless power of devotion, loyalty and faith. The film's central idea suggests that Hanuman's silence is not a sign of surrender but a purposeful wait, with immense power waiting to emerge when the time comes.
