He is now working on his new film, Jai Hanuman, which is being produced on a massive scale by Pushpa producers, Mythri Movie Makers.

Jai Hanuman is the second installment in the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe and is set to begin shooting soon. Pre-production is progressing at a brisk pace, and Rishab Shetty will join the sets shortly. Anudeep, who composed the music for HanuMan, will also score the soundtrack for Jai Hanuman.

Meanwhile, director Prasanth Varma of Awe fame has completed a low-budget film featuring newcomers, which will be released in the near future. Casting for Jai Hanuman is still underway, and the female lead has yet to be finalized. Several Bollywood actors are also expected to play key roles in this fantasy drama.

Jai Hanuman to have massive VFX

The film will feature extensive VFX, with major Indian companies handling the visual effects. While the graphics in HanuMan, done by a local Hyderabad-based studio, were widely appreciated, Jai Hanuman aims to take the visual experience to the next level.

It remains to be seen what kind of cinematic output Prasanth Varma delivers with a significantly larger budget, now that T-Series is on board. If you love fantasy dramas, stream Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari and Marakathamani on OTTplay Premium.
