The decision to release HanuMan in Japan comes after the successful trend of Telugu films like Salaar and RRR in the country.

This move is expected to cater to the significant demand for mythological fantasy drama in other languages, particularly from overseas markets. HanuMan is headlined by Teja Sajja and was released earlier this year. It will be followed by Jai HanuMan in 2026.
'HanuMan's storyline and impact
HanuMan narrates the story of a young man named Hanumanthu who acquires Lord Hanuman's powers after encountering a mysterious gem. The film is set in the fictional village of Anjanadri where Hanumanthu uses his new abilities to safeguard his fellow villagers from a wannabe superhero named Michael. The movie has been one of the highest-grossing Telugu films this year and also starred Vinay Rai and Amritha Aiyer.
