Prasanth Varma’s superhero film HanuMan is still attracting the audience at the theatres even after two weeks in the theatres. After a decent start of Rs 4 crore at the box office, the film experienced a major surge in box office numbers due to positive word of mouth. Even with the release of Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter on January 25, HanuMan managed to earn Rs 6.25 crore on Saturday. The Teja Sajja-led film collected Rs 8 crore on Republic Day. The overall collection in India has now reached Rs 164.75 crore.
HanuMan makers revealed that the film has minted Rs 250 crore worldwide. The film had an overall 49.76 percent Telugu occupancy on Saturday.

HanuMan clashed with Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram. Helmed by Trivikram, Guntur Kaaram has collected Rs 121 crore in India so far. During the Sankranti week, five films clashed at the box-office–HanuMan, Guntur Kaaram, Merry Christmas, Ayalaan and Captain Miller. HanuMan emerged as a clear winner and is still holding strong.
HanuMan also stars Amritha Aiyer, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Vinay Rai, and Raj Deepak Shetty in pivotal roles. Varma recently opened up about clashing with Mahesh Babu and Trivikram. The director said that they did not have an option because Anil Thadani had already locked the dates for the Hindi release.
He shared in an interview with Siddharth Kannan, “Both the films were released on the same day. Mahesh Babu is such a big star, nobody goes against him. Nobody even in their wildest dreams will want to release their film on the same day as Mahesh Babu, that too on Sankranti. And he’s coming with Trivikram sir, which is again a mad combination.”
