About Hanuman Ansh

The film was made on a shoestring budget of 2 crore and released in theatres without much fanfare on August 7. So far, it has earned over 200 crore net and looks set to cross 250 crore by this week.

Varun Dhawan was very vocal in his support for the film. He took to Instagram to share that he watched the film with his mother. He had also encouraged his followers to watch the film. He said, "Please go to the theatre and watch Hanuman Ansh. I just went with my mom, and it was an amazing experience. Take your parents, go with your friends. I highly recommend this film to everyone. No one had told me to make this video, neither had anyone called me; I just wanted to do this. I have had a connection with Lord Hanuman since childhood, but this is something else. This is a purely made film. I will not even call it a film; it’s something divine. You go and experience it." Preity Zinta, Kangana Ranaut, Aditya Dhar, Madhur Bhandarkar have also publicly praised the film.
