Through the monkey, Anshuman hopes his film feels like a cinematic prayer to Lord Hanuman. While speaking about the movie, Anushman said in a press statement, “It is a small cinematic prayer to Lord Hanuman, the art of never giving up and a humble tribute to the extraordinary animals who share this planet with us. And the project reflects his belief that humanity’s relationship with nature must be rooted in respect and responsibility. I truly believe and live by the mantra that being ordinary is a superpower.”
