Jai Hanuman Sequel Stuck in Limbo Ahead of Sankranthi 2026

Share


Following the massive blockbuster success of Hanuman during Sankranthi 2024, expectations soared when its sequel, Jai Hanuman, was officially announced as a Sankranthi 2025 release. Directed by Prasanth Varma, the film was touted as a major expansion of the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe, aiming to build on the devotional-superhero wave created by Hanuman.

However, the project’s journey has turned out to be far from smooth. As Sankranthi 2026 approaches, Jai Hanuman is yet to go on floors. Despite early announcements and strong initial buzz, the film has been plagued by repeated postponements, prolonged silence, and a noticeable lack of tangible progress. What was once among the most eagerly awaited sequels in Telugu cinema now appears to be stuck in a concerning state of limbo.

Industry insiders suggest that multiple factors have contributed to the delay, including script revisions, challenges associated with the film’s ambitious scale, casting considerations, and production planning hurdles. Unlike Hanuman, Jai Hanuman was envisioned on a significantly larger canvas, demanding extensive pre-production and clear financial structuring—elements that seem to have slowed the project’s momentum.

The prolonged delay has also cost director Prasanth Varma valuable time during a crucial phase of his career. Riding high on the success of Hanuman, expectations were that he would swiftly capitalize on the momentum. Instead, the stalled progress of Jai Hanuman has raised concerns among fans and trade circles.
