Rishab Shetty To Star As Lord Hanuman in Bhushan Kumar’s Next Mythological Epic

May 13, 2025: Following the massive success of Kantara, Rishab Shetty is once again stepping into a spiritually rich role—but this time, the scale is even more monumental. In a cinematic event that promises to blend grandeur with devotion, Shetty will portray Lord Hanuman in the upcoming mythological epic Jai Hanuman.

The film is helmed by visionary director Prasanth Varma, best known for his work on HanuMan, and is being produced by Mythri Movie Makers—the banner behind several major hits. The project is presented by T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar, marking a powerful collaboration between three of the biggest names in Indian cinema today.

A Spiritual and Cinematic Journey

Described as a tribute to one of the most revered deities in Indian mythology, Jai Hanuman is not just another film—it’s a celebration of courage, faith, and divine strength. Director Prasanth Varma calls the film his “dream project”, aiming to present Lord Hanuman not only as a mythological figure but as a timeless symbol of inner power and unwavering devotion.

“The film is not just about the undying spirit of devotion and courage that Lord Hanuman embodies,” said Varma, “but also a reminder that strength guided by faith can move mountains.”

A Powerful Cast and Production Team

National Award-winning actor Rishab Shetty—already known for bringing depth and authenticity to his characters—was a natural choice for the role. His previous performance in Kantara resonated with audiences for its cultural rootedness, and his portrayal of Lord Hanuman is expected to strike a similar chord.

Bhushan Kumar expressed his excitement for the collaboration, stating:

“With Jai Hanuman, we are stepping further into large-scale, culturally rooted storytelling… Rishab Shetty’s performance makes the journey even more special.”

Mythri Movie Makers added:

“This film is close to our hearts. Having Rishab onboard, and Bhushan Kumar backing the vision, has turned Jai Hanuman into something truly meaningful for all devotees and fans.”

A Film for the Ages

Jai Hanuman promises to combine stunning visuals, a powerful narrative, and a deep spiritual message—a rare blend in mainstream cinema. It is expected to go on floors soon, with an extensive production schedule that matches its ambitious scale.

Whether you’re a fan of mythology, epic storytelling, or meaningful cinema, Jai Hanuman looks to be a landmark film that will leave a lasting impact—both visually and spiritually.
