Filmmaker Prasanth Varma, who is gearing up for the superhero movie 'HanuMan🍨', opened up on choosing this story, rather than focusing on Indian epics like 'Ramayana' or 'Mahabharata'.
The 'Kalki' director said as a filmmaker he was not ready to tell the stories of Ramayana or Mahabharata.
𒅌'HanuMan' is a pan-Indian superhero flick with a unique narrative. It tells the tale of a boy who becomes a superhero after channeling the power of Lord Hanuman.
𝕴The 'Zombie Reddy ' director said: "I didn't think I was ready as a filmmaker to tell the stories of Ramayana or Mahabharata as we know them. I will probably be ready to tell these stories in the future so that I can live up to people’s expectations."
♌However, Varma acknowledges the timeless drama within 'Itihasas', drawing inspiration from these narratives while intricately weaving his own stories within a cinematic universe that seamlessly blends the familiar with the novel.
🌱'Itihasa' refers to the collection of written descriptions of important events in Hinduism, which includes the Mahabharata, the Puranas and the Ramayana.
ꦦPrasanth said: "I'm very passionate about our Itihasas. I did schooling under the Gurukul system. I wanted to take these stories of our itihasas to the present generation, but at the same time create my own stories and universe with them."
✤The makers have already released three songs from the movie 'Hanuman Chalisa', 'SuperHero HanuMan' and 'Avkaya'.
👍Presented by RKD Studios, while Niranjan Reddy (PrimeShow Entertainment) is the producer of the film, it will release in theatres on January 12
