As per the latest buzz, Earlier, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami had also attended a special screening. He later described it as a must-watch spiritual movie for the cinemagoers. He spoke to the media after the screening and opened up that the movie will be declared ‘ tax free ’ in the state. CM Pushkar shared that the movie is connected to Uttarakhand's Kainchi Dham.

In further updates, Written and directed by Vishal Chaturvedi , Hanuman Ansh is based on the life and teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, popularly known as Maharaj ji. He is believed by his devotees to be an incarnation of Lord Hanuman. The movie's synopsis positions “Baba as a saint who remains untouched by power, politics, ownership and praise, while his simple message becomes the spiritual centre of the story.”

On top of that, Made on a modest budget, the movie has exceeded expectations. Rolled out only in India on August 4, the movie collected only in lakhs per day after its rollout. However, a few days later, it saw a surge in collections and turned into a success story. According to the trade website Sacnilk, Hanuman Ansh collected ₹ 143.13 crore rupees net in India and ₹ 169.20 crore rupees gross. It will be rolled out internationally on September 11. It remains to be seen whether it sees another surge in collections after that.
