Teja Sajja in a still from HanuMan

The trailer

‘Inspired from the itihaas (history) of Akhanda Bharat’ reads the first title card in the trailer of HanuMan. The trailer introduces the viewer to the world of Anjanadri, where our hero, played by Teja, resides. An underwater sequence shows him getting closer to something that glows before he gains superpowers. We’re shown how, after he gains superpowers, he can run as fast as a cheetah, lift a mountain and bash baddies with ease.

The trailer also introduces us to the antagonist, played by Vinay. Despite having a power suit, he’s looking for power that makes him untouchable. Upon his arrival to Anjanadri, he destroys everything there. But the protagonist has to rise up to save his people. At the end of the trailer, Lord Hanuman is also shown waking up from his meditation.

An underdog hero

The trailer shows us that Teja plays an underdog who gains powers and is now tasked with saving the world. The actor has undergone a makeover for the film, even refraining from shooting for anything else till the film releases. Samuthirakani is shown as a sadhu while Varalaxmi plays Teja’s sister. The trailer also shows Getup Srinu and Vennela Kishore play supporting roles. Amritha is missing from the trailer and it remains to be seen what role she plays.
