Director of 'Hanuman ANSH' asks Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma to watch the film after positive reaction from Virender Sehwag

The film 'Hanuman ANSH' is currently generating significant interest in cinema screenings. The director and screenwriter of the film, Dr. Vishal Chaturvedi, expressed a desire for Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma to also watch this picture, especially after it was appreciated by Virender Sehwag.

The director noted that it would be a great joy for the entire crew if Virat and Anushka could see the film. It was particularly meaningful that Virender Sehwag watched 'Hanuman ANSH' with his child, without being part of the film crew, and shared his reaction on social media. For Chaturvedi, this moment was very emotional, as he has long been a big cricket fan of Sehwag.

Chaturvedi emphasized that Sehwag's approval was not just a celebrity review for him, but a kind of 'full circle life' moment. Now his focus is on Virat Kohli, and he hopes that Virat and Anushka can experience this spiritual story.

The film is also showing impressive box office results. Released on August 7, 2026, without a major marketing campaign or active promotion, 'Hanuman ANSH' achieved significant success through word-of-mouth. After four weeks in India, the film's total revenue reached 85.97 crore rupees. On the first day, the film earned 1 million rupees, and in the first week, it collected 1.08 crore rupees. In the second week, it earned 4 million rupees, but thanks to strong word-of-mouth, the income reached 10.40 crore rupees in the third week.

The film's story plans to go beyond the country. The creators announced that 'Hanuman ANSH' will be shown worldwide on September 11, 2026, allowing the international audience to get acquainted with the spiritual history of the Maharaj.

Furthermore, the director confirmed that the story of 'Hanuman ANSH' will continue, and a sequel will be released. The film is a spiritual drama inspired by the life and teachings of Nima Kauli Baba, whom fans affectionately call the Maharaj. Shobhanav Satya played the role of Nima Kauli Baba, and Vikhan Shedge portrays another stage of the Maharaj's life. The film also features actors such as Chandan Anand, Purmina Tiwari, Anil K. Rastogi, and Gulshan Pandey. This 2 hour 30 minute film, rated U, is considered successful due to people's deep faith in the Maharaj and great interest in his life. It remains to be seen what reaction the Sehwag couple, and subsequently Virat-Anushka, will have after watching 'Hanuman ANSH.'

Film 'Hanuman ANSH' becomes a blockbuster; actor appeals to viewers with an emotional request

The film 'Hanuman ANSH', based on the story of Nima Karouli Baba, is demonstrating impressive box office collections. On the 24th day after its release, the film reached its peak earnings, collecting over 12 crore rupees. This success appears particularly surprising given that the movie faced significant difficulties in its first two weeks.

It is worth noting that 'Hanuman ANSH' is gradually closing the gap in daily collections with the film 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups'. While 'Toxic' earned 13.50 crore rupees on Saturday, 'Hanuman ANSH' collected 9.25 crore rupees.

Following the sudden and significant success of the film, actor Shobhinava Satya shared his reaction and appealed to the public with an emotional plea. The actor asked viewers who watch the film and find it good not to limit their viewing only to themselves.

He urged people to actively spread information about the film, not just by posting statuses. Shobhinava Satya asked people to consider the film as their own and promote it. If viewers feel the emotion and essence conveyed by the picture, they should tell others about it and encourage them to visit cinemas. The actor warned that if this does not happen, the film might stop showing in theaters next Friday, and therefore he strongly asks everyone to help with promotion.

Shobhinava Satya concluded his appeal by asking viewers to promote the film, stating that there is no time to delay.

Judging by the pace of events, it is difficult to predict the final success of the picture. The film has already established itself as a 'clean hit'. If the current pace is maintained, there is a possibility that it will achieve 'blockbuster' status before the end of its theatrical run. If the situation develops this way, the film could soon enter the club of films with box office collections of 100 crore rupees.

Actor Puneet Vasishth discusses career problems after the film 'Josh'; he blames Shah Rukh for insecurity and admits to alcohol dependence

Actor Puneet Vasishth shared details about his participation in the film 'Josh,' which is considered one of Bollywood's landmark movies, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai. Puneet Vasishth played a supporting role and became friends with Shah Rukh Khan at that time. Recently, he publicly spoke about his experience in this film, noting that many of his scenes were cut, which negatively impacted his career.

During an appearance on Punam Sachdev's show 'Dil Se Dil Ki Baatein,' Puneet Vasishth raised several grievances against superstar Shah Rukh Khan. He claimed that Shah Rukh Khan suffered from self-doubt, which led to his scenes being edited out of the film. Puneet noted that, as the son of an actor, he is capable of analyzing Shah Rukh Khan. He did not call him a great actor but characterized him as a creative and energetic star who deeply engages the audience, highly praising his energy and creativity in recent projects.

Vasishth specified that his scenes in the film 'Josh' were significantly shortened. He recalled training Shah Rukh Khan himself to dance and was well aware of his energy level. When director Mansur Khan filmed the shots, Shah Rukh was known for his energy, jumping up to ten feet. Puneet, however, could jump fourteen feet, which attracted more attention, and this is why his scenes were removed. He added that if he were in Shah Rukh's place, he might have done the same, although he doubted his ability to behave that way. He described the filming process as a rapid forward movement where everything in the way was cut.

Despite this, Puneet Vasishth admitted his mistakes, noting that he was young at the time. Nevertheless, he emphasized that the film 'Josh' gave him much, and people still love it. He remembered that when he was twenty, the shoot, which should have taken four months, stretched to four and a half months. His naivety was focusing on losses rather than gains.

Furthermore, Puneet Vasishth revealed that groups operating in the industry at the time hindered the development of his talent and energy, leading to him being sidelined. The actor stated that despite having talent and confidence, he was not given the opportunity to prove his worth, which triggered depression and alcohol dependence. He now views this difficult period as part of his life journey.
