Following the global phenomenon of Kantara, National Award-winning actor and filmmaker Rishab Shetty has officially commenced his next cinematic odyssey. The highly anticipated muhurat pooja for Jai Hanuman, directed by visionary filmmaker Prasanth Varma, was held yesterday at the sacred birthplace of Lord Hanuman, marking a spiritual beginning for the next chapter in the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU). Rishab Shetty, who has become a global face for Indian heritage, continues his streak of bringing deep-rooted cultural narratives to the silver screen. Known for his unflinching commitment to authenticity, Shetty requested the ceremony be held at this specific holy site to align the film’s energy with its divine subject matter.
Speaking with the media, Rishab Shetty shared his emotional connection to this moment. "I initially expressed my wish to the producer and director to hold the muhurat at the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. Today, the entire team has gathered here to seek his blessings, and we are happy and fortunate that it could take place at this sacred place. Jai Hanuman was announced even before the release of Kantara Chapter 1, and I view this as a rare chance to serve through film. This will be a divine movie and an opportunity to show our devotion on screen. Director Prasanth Varma has created a powerful story, and I believe that devotees and followers of Lord Rama and Hanuman will experience it with a deep sense of faith," he said.
By choosing projects that celebrate indigenous traditions and spiritual fortitude, Rishab Shetty has solidified his reputation as a true brand ambassador of Indian culture. Much like his work in Kantara, Jai Hanuman is poised to be more than just a film; it is a cinematic tribute to the timeless values of devotion and strength.Under the direction of Prasanth Varma, Jai Hanuman promises to blend high-octane storytelling with profound spiritual resonance, ensuring that the legacy of Lord Hanuman is portrayed with the grandeur it deserves.
