Lord Hanuman stands as one of the most revered deities in Hindu mythology—a divine embodiment of strength, courage and self-discipline. A devout follower of Lord Rama and considered an incarnation of Lord Shiva, his on-screen portrayals are not only a visual spectacle but also a deeply spiritual experience for his ardent devotees.

While the iconic depiction of Lord Hanuman from the 1987 epic television series Ramayan continues to hold a special place in the hearts of audiences, there has long been anticipation for a portrayal of equal impact. Now, that moment seems close as Sunny Deol and Rishab Shetty are set to raise the bar with their powerful representations of Lord Hanuman in their highly anticipated films Jai Hanuman and Ramayana, respectively. These films carry immense significance, as they aim to present a cinematic legacy of Lord Hanuman for generations to come.
