Rishab Shetty, the star of the blockbuster Kantara, officially joins the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU) as Lord Hanuman in the upcoming sequel, Jai Hanuman. The first-look poster was released recently, showing Shetty in a powerful pose, reflecting deep emotion. He is depicted kneeling, holding an idol of Lord Rama, with a single tear on his cheek, symbolizing his devotion and the weight of his duty. The accompanying tagline promises, “A vow from the Tretayuga, bound to be fulfilled in the Kaliyuga.”
Rishab Shetty’s Role and Background of Jai Hanuman
This film marks a significant addition to the PVCU, which started with HanuMan, a superhero narrative that focused on Hanumanthu, a young man who gains divine powers. The original film, featuring Teja Sajja, captured the audience’s imagination with its blend of mythology and superhero elements. In HanuMan, Hanumanthu, living with his sister in the village of Anjanadri, discovers a mystical gem that grants him extraordinary abilities, allowing him to protect his village.
The end of HanuMan hinted at a larger conflict ahead, setting the stage for Jai Hanuman. Reports suggest that this sequel will explore deeper themes of heroism and sacrifice, aligning with Shetty’s portrayal of a character imbued with the powers and responsibilities of Lord Hanuman. The film is expected to delve into the rich lore surrounding Hanuman, portraying his legendary feats while grounding them in contemporary storytelling.
Future of the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe
The PVCU is expanding rapidly, with upcoming projects like Adhira and Maha Kali in the pipeline. Each film aims to build on the success of its predecessors by intertwining various mythological elements and character arcs. Prasanth Varma is committed to delivering compelling narratives that resonate with audiences while maintaining the essence of Indian mythology.
In addition to Jai Hanuman, Shetty is busy with Kantara: Chapter 1, which serves as a prequel to his previous hit. This new film, set in the historical context of the Kadamba dynasty, promises grand action sequences and an exploration of folklore, showcasing Shetty’s versatility as both an actor and a director. The film will further investigate the rich tapestry of regional stories, and its production is expected to incorporate elaborate sets and advanced visual effects to create an immersive experience.
The release of Jai Hanuman is keenly awaited, and with Shetty at the helm, expectations are high for a film that blends rich cultural narratives with engaging cinematic experiences. Fans of the genre can look forward to a unique storytelling approach that Prasanth Varma has become known for.
