Storyline:
Hailing from the fictional Anjanadri, a beautiful yet backward village, we have our protagonist Hanumanthu (Teja Sajja). He lives there with his sister Anjamma (Varalaxmi Sarathkumar) and his lady love Meenakshi (Amritha Aiyer).
Hanumanthu acquires superpowers after the mysterious Mani falls into his possession. When this underdog gradually becomes the superhero Hanu Man reminiscent of the great god Hanuman himself – trouble is brewing ahead for him!
Michael (Vinay Rai) clashes with him as the antagonist. Michael is desperate in his quest for the Mani and its supernatural abilities, fuelled by a childhood obsession with superpowers. While Hanu Man has his heart in the right place, Michael appears to have nefarious intentions for the Mani’s superpowers.
Watch Hanuman to see this battle of good vs evil unravel!

HanuMan Movie Review:
Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe is booming indeed! Packed with high-octane action, HanuMan offers a good blend of mythology and devotion with sci-fi. The VFX is competent enough to be visually engaging.
Initially, the pacing is rather slow-burn and it seems like a cookie-cutter superhero story. But Prasanth Varma’s vision stays strong and keeps it consistently engrossing. The interval action block is designed well.
HanuMan Movie Review:
The story hits its stride when Teja discovers his superpowers. Hanuman ji intro scene is powerful indeed with pleasing visual effects. The electric BGM music elevates the action sequences of the film. HanuMan has an action-packed finale, massy extravaganza at its best!
Teja Sajja pulls off this superhero role with utter conviction, making you root for him as an underdog. He has the mischief, charm and a strong screen presence. Vinay Rai makes for a menacing antagonist, a foil to Teja’s Hanu Man.
Varalaxmi Sarathkumar as the elder sister of Hanumanthu, leaves a mark with her powerful performance. Amritha Aiyer has good chemistry with Teja as the love interest. Satya and Getup Srinu bring the much-required comic relief. This movie is quite a family-friendly watch with a clean comedy.
