Rajamouli helped Prashanth Varma Hanu Man

Rajamouli helped Prashanth Varma Hanu  Man. "HanuMan" is an enthralling superhero film inspired by the legendary character Lord Hanuman from the Indian epic Ramayana. Featuring Teja Sajja in the lead role, the fantasy film explores the narrative of an ordinary young man bestowed with extraordinary powers in certain situations. Director Prasanth Varma, driven by his childhood fascination with epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata, is eager to delve into the fusion of mythology and socio-fantasy through this project.

Expressing his creative vision, Prasanth shares, "I initially envisioned creating a series of superhero films, and HanuMan marks the beginning. Our rich mythology offers numerous untold stories, and I believed this was the opportune time to narrate tales deeply rooted in our culture."

He emphasizes the enduring allure of Lord Hanuman's heroic exploits, especially captivating for younger audiences, drawing a parallel with the fascination generated by Marvel films in Hollywood. Prasanth envisions a surge in superhero films inspired by Indian epics, positioning them as potential 'money spinners' at the box office.

Initially attributing the success of superhero films in Hollywood to superior VFX, Prasanth later acknowledges the significance of editing and visually compelling storytelling in the genre.

In response to queries about casting Teja Sajja in the lead, Prasanth explains his choice, stating that for a film centered around an ordinary individual gaining extraordinary powers, a newcomer like Teja brings a relatable 'wow factor.' He believes this approach allows the audience to identify with the protagonist's journey, creating a sense that anyone could potentially possess such powers.

Reflecting on his filmmaking journey, Prasanth aims to create 'larger-than-life' cinema with universal appeal, emphasizing high-concept narratives. The director acknowledges challenges in the post-production stage, particularly in VFX-intensive scenes. He credits director S.S. Rajamouli for valuable advice, suggesting a more efficient approach to VFX by initially editing the footage and sending only specific shots that require computer graphics.

Adding a touch of humor, Ravi Teja lends his voice to Koti, a comedic monkey character in the film. Prasanth expresses gratitude to Ravi Teja for immediately embracing the request, recognizing the actor's perfect fit for bringing Koti's satire to life. With a blend of mythology, modern storytelling, and technical expertise, "HanuMan" promises to be a cinematic spectacle that captivates audiences of all ages.
