The film has been headlined by Teja Sajja. The film has been praised by critics for its depiction of the classic good versus evil superhero story with a touch of mythology.

Prasanth recently told news agency PTI, "I didn't realise that it was all happening. It took me two-three days for all this to sink in because never in my life have I experienced so much success in terms of love from the audience. All my previous films were loved by the audience, but we never made a lot of money. I was that filmmaker who makes good cinema but doesn't make a lot of money for the producers. But I think for the first time in my career, it has happened in such a way... I think it is easily 10 times more than any of my previous films."
"I have always been fascinated by the stories from our mythology and culture. When I was researching HanuMan, I found more characters in our mythology that we have not really explored. The audiences are also not aware of them. So I thought, it'd be interesting if I could create new characters and narrate their greatness at the same time," he had said.🎥✨
