It’s the era of films that are high on visuals and VFX alongside stories that are grand and yet rooted. Where films like Brahmastra and Bhediya saw realistic VFX, Adipurush and Pathaan failed to convince the audiences enough. Now, there’s an addition to the audiences’ visual treat and it’s an upcoming Telugu superhero film.

Film’s director Prasanth Varma had taken to Twitter to release the teaser of this film which also stars Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar and Amrita in key roles. It shows a young man (Teja Sajja), in Lord Hanuman’s avatar, having superhero sequences flying in the air and dodging the bad guys. The grand visuals also showcase shots of a grand forest and a giant Hanuman statue. See here:
In reply to Prasanth’s teaser announcement, netizens went on to appreciate HanuMan and many took a dig at Adipurush being worse than this Telugu film as well.
Actor Kriti Sanon who plays Lord Sita in Om Raut’s directorial Adipurush recently opened up on the backlash that the film is facing and spoke at an event.
She said during a Bhediya promotional event, “As Om Raut, my director, has mentioned in the note that was brought out, it is a film that we all are extremely proud of. It is a film which is of grand canvas; it is a part of our history and is extremely important. It needs to be put out in the right way and in the best possible way because that’s what he (Om) also had envisioned.”

“So a one-minute 35-second teaser came out. There is a lot more to the film that he (Om) needs to work upon, and needs time. We all want to give it the best shot because this is an opportunity to get our history, to get our religion globally out there. It is a story that we all are proud of, so it needs to be done in the best possible way. And I think he is going to give it all the talent that it needs, and all the effort it needs because the heart and the soul are in the right place,” the Mimi actress concluded.

Adipurush is a mythological drama that also stars Prabhas as Lord Ram and Saif Ali Khan as Raavan. The film that was slated to release on January 12 next year has now been postponed to June 16, 2023, reasoned as the team would need a little more time to work on VFX post criticism. On the other hand, HanuMan will be a franchise-framed film that will also be dubbed and released in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada.
