Hanuman Ansh has found an unlikely new admirer in Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. As the devotional drama continues its remarkable run at the box office, Fadnavis met writer-director Vishal Chaturvedi and the film’s team at his official residence, Varsha.
Fadnavis congratulated the team on the film’s success and wished them well for their future projects. He also shared a video from the meeting on X, showing the team at Varsha to seek the blessings of Ganpati Bappa.

The meeting comes as Hanuman Ansh has crossed the Rs 300 crore mark at the box office. The film, which opened in theatres last month with little buzz, has slowly turned into one of the year’s biggest theatrical success stories.
Its opening was anything but spectacular. Hanuman Ansh began with just Rs 10 lakh on its first day and collected around Rs 1.50 crore during its first two weeks. The film, however, started gaining momentum as more viewers responded positively to it.
The turnaround has been particularly striking from its fourth week onwards. The film has earned more than Rs 60 crore nett in India in each of the past few weeks.
With its overseas earnings included, the film has now crossed the Rs 300 crore mark worldwide. Its India collection also places it among the highest-grossing films of the year so far, behind Dhurandhar 2, Border 2 and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Its theatrical run has also put it well ahead of the more recent release Mirzapur The Movie.
What makes the film’s success particularly interesting is how quietly it began. There was little anticipation around Hanuman Ansh before its release, but strong word of mouth gradually brought more audiences to theatres. What started as a low-key release has since grown into a major box-office performer.
Written and directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, Hanuman Ansh follows Lakshminarayan, a young man grieving the death of his mother. Searching for answers about God, death and human suffering, he begins a spiritual journey across North India.
