Rishab Shetty To Play Lead Role In Prasanth Varma's 'Jai Hanuman'?

Hyderabad, October 17 - Director Prasanth Varma created a sensation earlier this year with his superhero movie Hanuman which emerged as a surprise big blockbuster at the box office, grossing close to 300 crores worldwide. The movie, which kicked off Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe, was headlined by Teja Sajja.

After the mega success of Hanuman, the makers officially confirmed its sequel Jai Hanuman and the pre-production on the same started recently. Now, according to a social media post by Aakashavaani, Kannada star Rishab Shetty is likely to step in to headline this much-anticipated Pan India movie.



Shetty recently won his maiden national award for the all-time blockbuster movie Kantara and has been the talk of the town regarding its prequel which is currently on floors. With Jai Hanuman also in his kitty, the actor has two potential big blockbusters in the pipeline.

The official confirmation regarding Shetty doing the sequel is yet to be made but there have been rumours about this development in the past as well and the latest report has more or less confirmed the same. It is also reported that Mythri Movie Makers is likely to produce the upcoming movie on a massive scale.

Jai Hanuman was originally announced with Sankranthi 2025 release but it has been pushed back as the production is yet to commence.
