With a runtime of 2 hours and 38 minutes, HanuMan has garnered high praise, securing an outstanding rating of 9.7 out of 10 on the BookMyShow portal.

Teja Sajja believes in divine intervention

HanuMan's release date coincides with the inauguration of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Addressing the coincidence in the same interview, Teja Sajja called this moment "a divine blessing". He revealed that HanuMan was supposed to be released in the middle of 2023 but due to some unforeseen events, it got postponed.

The actor said, “We were supposed to release this film on May 12th, but as the content wasn’t ready by that time. Prashanth needed some more time. So by that time, they asked for six months to get the copy and the content ready. So we have placed it for January because Sankranti is a season in our culture where larger number of audience gather in the theatres. So this is totally a divine blessing for us.”
