The highly anticipated “HanuMan OTT release,” a Tollywood superhero film that debuted in theaters during the Sankranthi season, has finally arrived on Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms, specifically ZEE5 and Jio Cinema. Directed by Prasanth Varma and featuring Teja Sajja in the lead role, the film’s release has been met with a mixed critical response.
While the film garnered significant commercial success, some netizens have taken to social media platforms to express disappointment with the movie’s visual effects (VFX). However, a loyal fanbase, recognizing the dedication of the production team, has emerged online, actively defending the film against these criticisms.
Interestingly, director Prasanth Varma seemingly anticipated this reaction. In a recent post-release interview, he addressed the VFX concerns head-on, acknowledging the limitations imposed by the film’s budget. Varma emphasized the team’s strategy of prioritizing high-quality visuals for key scenes while employing advanced technologies like Unreal Engine for less prominent ones. He even predicted that viewers could identify these enhancements by pausing the film during playback. Despite this preemptive explanation, Varma has chosen to remain silent regarding the ongoing online discourse.
Adding another layer of intrigue, the HanuMan OTT release currently remains exclusive to the Telugu language version. ZEE5, the platform hosting the film, has yet to make any official announcements regarding the availability of “HanuMan” in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages. Fans eager to experience the film in these languages are advised to stay tuned for further updates.
