So excited for this! Rishab Shetty proved his acting chops in Kantara, and now as Hanuman ji? Perfect casting! 🙏 Hope they maintain authenticity while using modern techniques. Jai Bajrang Bali!

Mythological films are becoming repetitive these days. Hope this isn't just another VFX-heavy spectacle but actually brings something new to the table. Prasanth Varma's track record gives me some hope though.

Between Kantara Chapter 1 and Jai Hanuman, Rishab Shetty is really embracing our cultural roots in cinema. More power to him! But I hope they don't commercialize Hanuman ji's character too much - these are sacred figures after all.

Bhushan Kumar + Mythri Movie Makers + Rishab Shetty = Blockbuster combo! After Adipurush's failure, we need a proper mythological film done right. Hope they take time with the script and don't rush production.

Interesting that they're releasing Kantara Chapter 1 on Gandhi Jayanti. Smart move! As for Jai Hanuman, I just hope they don't make it overly dramatic. Hanuman ji's stories are powerful enough without unnecessary masala.

Good to see South Indian talent leading pan-India projects now. Rishab has that perfect blend of intensity and devotion needed for Hanuman's role. Hope they consult proper religious scholars for authenticity. 🙌
