The film was made on a budget of 40 crores. Despite being a low-budget film, this action film grossed over 100 crores at the box office.

Bollywood is all about glitz and glamour. Various budget films have been made over the decades. There are times when films with Rs 500-600 crore grosses fail completely, while films made on a budget of Rs 20-40 crores do wonders on the big screen. So it's not always the budget that matters, but the actors and their performances. One such film that serves as a shining example is Teja Sajja's Hanuman.

The Telugu superhero film Hanuman was released in theaters on 12 January 2024. It is a mythological film in which Teja Sajja plays the role of a superhero. The cast also includes notable actors like Amrita Iyer, Varalakshmi Sarathkumar and Vinay Rai.

Directed by Prashant Verma, the film was made on a budget of 40 crores. However, due to its exciting storyline, the film grossed a whopping 350 crores worldwide. In India, the film was so loved by the audience that it grossed Rs 32.05 crore domestically. Interestingly, it took two and a half years to make this film. Recently, Teja Sajha shared that he worked very hard for Hanuman, turned down dozens of projects and did all the stunts himself.

In an interview to Hindustan Times, Teja said, “We wanted a desi superhero look for the film. I did 25 look tests. Usually, an actor does two or three look tests. When we started shooting the film, we went through a very challenging process for the action sequences. He added, “There are no head replacement shots like in big-budget films. All the stunts in the film were done by me, including the underwater scenes. I have also learned scuba diving for that.”

Despite being a low-budget film, Hanuman turned heads and yielded significant profits to the makers. Apart from the box office collection, the film also has an IMDb rating of 7.8. After the release of the film, it was made available on the OTT platform JioCinema. Even on the OTT platform, the audience has loved the film.
