Rana Daggubati joins Rishab Shetty in Prashanth Varma’s Jai Hanuman

Interestingly, in the announcement made on social media by Prashanth Varma, Teja Sajja, who played the titular role in Hanu-Man, wrote, “Be right there, I’m on my way.” This has lead to speculations that Teja would indeed feature in the sequel too.

Rana also shared a picture of himself with Rishab and Prashanth Varma, and wrote, “Jai Jai Hanuman.” Incidentally, there were earlier reports that Rana would be playing Lord Hanuman in the sequel to Hanu-Man.

Jai Hanuman is the next big-budget production of Mythri Movie Makers, known for backing projects like Pushpa and Rangasthalam. Apart from Jai Hanuman, Rishab is currently working on the prequel to the National sensation, Kantara, which will once again be directed by the actor-filmmaker, who won multiple National awards for the film, including Best Actor.
