Prasanth Varma’s Hanuman, which released in cinemas last week, continues to win hearts. After Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna and Kannada superstar Shivraj Kumar, the latest eminent personality who is blown away by the film is union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur.

Taking to his X page on Wednesday evening, the minister termed the film as a cinematic masterpiece while lauding the efforts of the whole team. He wrote, “#HANUMAN the film is a cinematic masterpiece with captivating scenes depicting our sanatan dharm! The CGI and VFX in the movie were the icing on the cake. I commend the makers of the film; their hard work was clearly visible. Well done@PrasanthVarma, @tejasajja123 @Niran_Reddy and the whole team for making this fantastic movie!”.

Another union minister Kishan Reddy too sang praises about the film. He met Teja Sajja in the national capital on Wednesday and felicitated him with a shawl. “Glad to have met the young talented actor of the 'Hanuman' movie, Shri @tejasajja123 Garu in New Delhi. The movie, besides being a super hit, has also joined the celebrations of Pran Prathista of Bhagwan Shree Ram in Ayodhya, by donating Rs 5 from each ticket for the Bhavya Ram temple in Ayodhya,” the Tourism minister wrote on X.

Set in the fictional village of Anjanadri, Hanuman follows the story of an ordinary guy Hanumanthu (played by Teja) who unexpectedly gains superpowers. A formidable super villain later (played by Vinai Rai) enters his life and how he takes on the former, while saving Anjanadri forms the crux of the story. Niranjan Reddy Kandagatla has produced it. Hanuman marks the beginning of the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU), which will be followed by Adhira.
