In a Sankranti lineup filled with heavyweight releases, Hanuman, starring Teja Sajja and Amrita Ayer, emerged as the underdog that stole the spotlight. Despite facing tough competition, the film managed to bring substantial profits to its buyers, surpassing expectations and establishing itself as a surprise blockbuster. Audiences were drawn to the theaters during the festival, and even post-Sankranti weekends saw a steady flow of moviegoers, indicating the film’s enduring popularity.
As the theatrical run of Hanuman continues to impress, fans and movie enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting its release on the digital platform. The good news is that Zee5 has acquired the OTT rights for Hanuman, providing viewers with the opportunity to enjoy the film from the comfort of their homes. The wait, however, comes with a twist, as the film is expected to have an exclusive 8-week window between its theatrical and OTT release. This strategic move aims to maintain the film’s buzz and keep audiences engaged.
For those looking forward to streaming Hanuman on Zee5, the wait is expected to end during the second week of March 2024. As the film gears up for its digital debut, the excitement doesn’t stop there. The makers have already initiated work on the sequel, titled Jai Hanuman, scheduled for a theatrical release in 2025. The success of Hanuman has not only solidified its place as a memorable Sankranti release but has also paved the way for the continuation of the epic journey on the big screen.
