Teja Sajja‘s much-awaited superhero film HanuMan finally hit theaters on Friday, January 12, 2024. Following its theatrical release, the movie received many positive reviews online. Anticipation is high, and fans are now eagerly awaiting the film’s first-day box office performance. Recent reports suggest HanuMan may earn $843k in India on its first day for all languages.
On Sankranti’s occasion, three other Telugu films clashed with HanuMan—Guntur Kaaram, starring Mahesh Babu and directed by Trivikram Srinivas, Nagarjuna and Vijay Binni’s Naa Saami Ranga, and Sailesh Kolanu’s Saindhav, which stars Venkatesh Daggubati in the lead role. Thus, Teja Sajja’s film seems to be facing tough competition at the box office due to the clash with these blockbuster releases.
