This Friday, ahead of Sankranthi, Prasanth Varma’s HanuMan, starring Teja Sajja, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Amritha Aiyer, and Vinay Rai, was released. Both reviewers and fans have praised the movie, with many praising its depiction of a desi superhero. However, this also brought with it the movie buffs who once more used this as a chance to criticise director Om Raut for the failure of Adipurush, a Ramayana adaption that starred Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan in the main roles.
While Om has yet to respond or pay heed to these posts, X is filled with numerous users tagging him in their reviews for HanuMan and comparing it to his latest film. The internet is buzzing with memes on Adipurush. While fans appreciate Teja Sajja’s HanuMan the trolls for Adipurush get stronger. Due to HanuMan’s success, it appears that online users are taking issue with director Om Raut.
Raut was previously criticised and even made fun of for depicting the epic Hindu mythology Ramayana in his film Adipurush in a caricature-like way. The director’s reputation is now undoubtedly being affected by the responses of online users. The majority of people emphasised that Adipurush, an extremely expensive film in Indian cinema history, could not even come close to matching HanuMan’s visual effects, which were more skilful and imaginative in the movie. Check out the trolls below.

Produced on a low budget, HanuMan narrates the tale of an underdog named Hanumanthu (Teja) from the made-up village of Anjanadri who discovers a totem and gains superpowers. Heβs soon blessed with Hanumanβs powers and when push comes to shove, he finds himself protecting the totem from falling into the wrong hands, like Michaelβs (Vinay).
Adipurush, a movie that was released in the middle of 2023, was brutally attacked in the first teaser trailer. Despite having a large budget, many pointed out that the makers chose cartoon-like visual effects, moving far away from what the original material should have been. Prabhas starred in the simultaneously shot Telugu and Hindi movie, which also starred Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan, Sunny Singh, Devdutta Nage, and many more in important roles.
