The mighty Lord Hanuman is set to make a grand comeback—this time on the silver screen powered by artificial intelligence. Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Rajesh Mapuskar, “Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal” promises to bring Sanatana Dharma’s timeless legend to life using next-generation AI filmmaking technology. The project proudly carries the “Made-in-AI, Made-in-India” banner, echoing the nation’s vision to blend cultural heritage with futuristic storytelling.
Produced by Vikram Malhotra of Abundantia Entertainment and Vijay Subramaniam of Collective Media Network, the film is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on the auspicious day of Hanuman Jayanti in 2026. The team aims to immerse audiences in a visually rich retelling of Hanuman’s spiritual and heroic journey while staying faithful to the essence of the Ramayana.
The film’s first poster offers a symbolic glimpse of its spirit. A radiant golden gada (mace) stands tall against vibrant greenery—a visual metaphor for divine strength grounded in nature’s purity. Behind it, Mapuskar, dressed in traditional Indian attire, bridges the old and new: the sacred and the synthetic, the spiritual and the digital.
What makes “Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal” truly pioneering is its full-scale use of AI tools to design characters, render celestial battles, and depict mythological worlds with uncanny realism. Rather than replacing human creativity, AI here becomes a divine instrument—a digital vaahan (vehicle) carrying the storyteller’s devotion and imagination forward.
If successful, the film could open a new chapter in Indian cinema, where technology amplifies tradition and mythology travels beyond time zones and generations. On Hanuman Jayanti2026, audiences across the globe may witness not just a movie, but a modern-day leela—a transcendental blend of devotion, innovation, and cinematic magic.
