Tollywood director Prasanth Varma shot to nationwide fame after delivering the blockbuster "HanuMan" with Teja Sajja.
Riding on that success, he quickly announced "Jai HanuMan," the second installment in the franchise.
The project grew bigger when Mythri Movie Makers came on board and Kantara star Rishab Shetty signed on, making it one of the most-awaited films in the lineup.
However, Prasanth Varma’s growing list of commitments has now put him in a tight spot.
His tendency to take advances from multiple producers without fulfilling prior agreements has led to serious complaints being filed against him at the Producers Council and the Film Chamber.
Now, an even bigger challenge looms — from none other than SS Rajamouli.
The recent glimpse of Varanasi revealed that the Rajamouli–Mahesh Babu film not only draws from the Ramayana but also places a strong focus on Lord Hanuman.
With Varanasi confirmed for a summer 2027 release, the pressure is mounting on Prasanth Varma.
If "Jai HanuMan" does not release before Varanasi, it risks being overshadowed by Rajamouli’s massive, high-stakes project.
For Prasanth Varma, speeding up production is no longer just an option — it has become crucial for the survival and impact of his franchise.
The big question remains: Can Prasanth Varma launch and release Jai HanuMan before Varanasi hits theaters?
