Prasanth Varma says HanuMan follows the superhero template but?
on Jan 11, 2024
'Hanu-Man’ stands as the first Indian superhero film within Prasanth Varma’s cinematic universe. Starring Teja Sajja, this monumental creation has garnered global excitement with an overwhelming reception to its teaser, songs, and trailer.
The ambitious production is led by K Niranjan Reddy of Primeshow Entertainment, with Mrs. Chaitanya presenting it. As a special gift for Hanuman Sankranti, the film is set for a grand worldwide release on January 12. Director Prasanth Varma recently disclosed the film’s insights in a media interaction.
Talking about Teja, he said "Teja, being senior, needed no acting lessons. (Laughs) However, I orchestrated a makeover for Teja’s Hanuman character. In Zombie Reddy, he’s a city boy; here, a village lad. Once the transformation was set, there was no turning back. Teja dedicated much effort to this film, prioritizing it over others. Another film wasn’t accepted until Hanuman was completed, and Teja invested even greater hopes in it than I did."
Talking about the delay, he said "Initially, the VFX nuances weren’t fully understood. Zombie Reddy had 50 shots; Hanuman has 1600. Delays occurred as the VFX company couldn’t deliver on time, requesting an extension. This journey imparted valuable knowledge, enabling faster VFX production in the future."
Talking about Superhero template, he said "Hanuman follows the superhero template but uniquely in our Telugu film style. It mirrors how Yash was portrayed in KGF, presenting Hanuman distinctively."
Talking about promotions in North India, he said "Exceptional response; South cinema is highly regarded. The enthusiasm shown by North audiences is like a dream, making us very happy."
Talking about other characters in HanuMan, he said "Amritha Aiyer, Varalakshmi Sarathkumar, Vinai Rai, Getup Srinu, Satya, and Samuthirakhani contribute significantly. Each character, especially Samuthirakhani’s, holds a special place."
Talking about Sankranthi theatre issue, he said "As a filmmaker, my focus is on content quality. Theater discussions unexpectedly arose; producers should address this. After the movie releases, content will take precedence. Hanuman is special, and if successful, we plan to make films we can be proud of for a decade."
Talking about his project with Nandamuri Balakrishna, he said "Balakrishna heard the story. It can be part of the universe or standalone, depending on Balakrishna’s decision."
