Telugu film ‘HanuMan’ provided the right start to the new year. The first sleeper hit of the year, HanuMan beat biggies such as Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram and Venkatesh’s Saindhav to emerge as a legit blockbuster. The film has received terrific reviews from both audiences and critics, all of whom have appreciated Prashanth Varma’s direction and lead actor Teja Sajja’s inspired performance.
The huge buzz generated by HanuMan at the theatres has found an echo amongst digital viewers too. OTT viewers especially non-Telugu speakers, have been eager to know the HanuMan OTT release date and platform, so that they can watch the movie on OTT. Even those viewers who have already watched HanuMan in the theatres want to know the OTT release date of HanuMan, coz they’re keen to watch the movie again, this time on OTT.
We at Binged have got you information on the likely OTT release date of HanuMan. We had already informed our readers earlier that the streaming rights of HanuMan have been bought by ZEE5. Now we have inside news on the likely release date of HanuMan on ZEE5.
ZEE5 had earlier signed on to release HanuMan on its platform within the 4-week theatrical window as stipulated by the Telugu film industry. But that was when no one expected HanuMan to do so well at the box office. As per sources in the know, looking at the response to HanuMan in the theatres, as also the fact that the film is still pulling in audiences at cinema halls, ZEE5 has agreed to postpone the OTT release of HanuMan, in keeping with the wishes of the producers.
We have also got a tentative OTT release date for HanuMan on ZEE5. The streaming platform will most likely unleash the HanuMan OTT release on 8th March, 2024 – 8 weeks after its theatrical release. For one, 8th March is the auspicious occasion of Mahashivratri. Secondly, it is a Friday – the chosen day when streaming platforms release their biggest movies.
Mark your calendars then, folks. Telugu superhero drama ‘HanuMan’ will release on ZEE5 on 8th March, 2024. And it’s definitely a blockbuster for the streaming platform. ZEE5 is sure to get humongous viewership numbers when it announces the HanuMan OTT release date. Not even the stakeholders at ZEE5 would have imagined that their investment in the otherwise small film HanuMan will pay such rich dividends.
Coz rich dividends are certainly in store for ZEE5. The platform has grabbed the OTT rights for HanuMan in all the languages —Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi — and it is a windfall for the streamer.
HanuMan stars young actor Teja Sajja in the role of a simple boy-next-door, who is suddenly bestowed with the superpowers of Lord Hanuman. The film is set in the fictional town of Anjanadri, where the protagonist gets the powers of Hanuman and fights for Anjanadri.
Besides Teja Sajja, HanuMan stars Amritha Aiyer, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Raj Deepak Shetty in pivotal roles. Vinay Rai plays the primary antagonist. HanuMan is directed by Prashanth Varma and produced by Niranjan Reddy Kandagatla under Primeshow Entertainment.
