Development

After successfully directing Zombie Reddy (2021), Varma announced his fourth film on 29 May 2021, coinciding with his birthday.[9][10] It was announced that the film will be the first superhero film in Telugu cinema.[11][12] In an interview with Deccan Chronicle said that "the film is inspired by the Hindu God Hanuman", adding "As for the title of the film, Prasanth says he chose it because it was a dedication to many who, when they think of any superpower or a superhero in Hindu mythology, we remember Lord Hanuman. In the film, the name of the protagonist is Hanu-Man", regarding the title of the film.[13]

Cast and crew

Anudeep Dev, Hari Gowra and Krishna Saurabh were hired for composing the music of the film. It is edited by SB Raju Tallari. Teja Sajja joined the production on the launch day of the film, as the lead actor.[14] The name of the fictional village was announced as Anjanadri.[15][16]

Filming

The film was officially launched on 25 June 2021 in Hyderabad, with a pooja ceremony and muhurtam shot done.[17] Principal photography of the film was also on the same day.[18] As of August 2021, 40% of filming was completed. Filming of few action sequences and songs took place at Maredumilli and Paderu of Andhra Pradesh in September 2021.[19][20]

During the teaser launch event held in Hyderabad in November 2022, Varma revealed that the production budget increased six times from the initial valuation.[21]
