Prashanth Varma, a director who is known for taking a different path in filmmaking, became a household name with his first A! and also established himself as a powerhouse with the blockbuster hit of Hanuman last year. After the success of Hanuman, he declared the most-awaited sequel, Jai Hanuman, with it set to be released in 2025. But doubts are rising that the film will not come out according to plan since production has not even started.
One of the key reasons for the delay is the prolonged casting process. After plenty of speculation, Prashanth Varma eventually signed up Rishab Shetty for the lead. But from then on, the film has seen very slow progress, and many have wondered if the project will ever get going.
In the meantime, Rishab Shetty has been getting busier with multiple big-ticket films. Apart from the Kantara prequel, he is also doing two other films: one on the iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji and another historical drama under the Sithara Entertainments. With his tight schedule, it’s not clear if Rishab will manage to fit in Jai Hanuman, keeping more questions about the future of the film.
Prashanth Varma’s record of project announcements and cancellations has also been questioned. His proposals for a film with Ranveer Singh called Mahakali were canceled, and he also pulled out of a project with Nandamuri Mokshagnya. These last-minute changes in direction have questioned his project management and strategy.
Fans now wonder what Prashanth Varma will do next. Although his talent cannot be questioned, doubts over his projects may affect his career in the future. It is important for the director to manage his planning to provide a strong and consistent roster of films. Currently, there are no new updates, and fans are waiting eagerly for an update on what Prashanth Varma will do next in his film career.
