Notably, Prasanth Varma’s first instalment of his superhero cinematic universe HanuMan, starring Teja Sajja, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Amritha Aiyer, and Vinay Rai in the lead, grossed over Rs 350 crore (US$42 million) worldwide, making it the second highest-grossing Indian film of 2024. While fans assumed that Jai Hanuman would be an immediate sequel to HanuMan, Varma proceeded with Ranveer Singh for Rakshas. However, Varma and Singh parted ways on the project due to creative differences and the movie was shelved. While there is no recent update on Rakshas as well as Jai Hanuman, fans are anticipating an official update on the second instalment of Varma's cinematic universe.
