Prasanth Varma collaborating with Hollywood for Jai Hanuman. Director Prasanth Varma, riding high on the global success of "HanuMan," is reportedly in talks with Hollywood studios for his next film, "Jai Hanuman."
"Hollywood studios are eager to invest in Varma's upcoming socio-fantasy film, which revolves around Lord Hanuman and his exploits," revealed an industry source. "The project is estimated to cost over ₹200 crores, and they're searching for a big-name actor to embody the role of Lord Hanuman. Discussions are underway with several actors who possess the right image and are free of any controversial baggage."
Following the success of "Kalki 2898 AD," which reintroduced the 3D format to international audiences, "Jai Hanuman" is also expected to be a visually spectacular 3D experience.
"This will be a challenging undertaking for director Varma, who is meticulously handling pre-production and aiming to deliver another visual masterpiece," said the source. "They are currently waiting for a major star to commit to the role of Lord Hanuman while simultaneously working on visual effects and other production elements. The film centers around Lord Hanuman's arrival in Kali Yuga and the issues he confronts in this era."
The source also dispelled the misconception that shooting in 3D is outdated, emphasizing the skill and creativity involved in converting 2D footage to 3D.
"While shooting in 3D has become less common, 2D to 3D conversion requires significant creative expertise and imagination," the source explained. "To match the high standards of Hollywood films, meticulous attention to detail is essential, and it's a technique they utilize with great care and conviction."
