Hanuman Ansh song makes visually impaired singer viral, once sang in Bundelkhand streets

Suneel Lodhi, a visually impaired Bundelkhandi folk singer, has gained viral fame through his song "Tere Hi Bharose Hanuman" from Vishal Chaturvedi's film Hanuman Ansh. The devotional drama, based on Neem Karoli Baba's life, started with a modest budget of Rs 10 lakhs and has now made over Rs 50 crore worldwide. Lodhi's musical journey began in his childhood, singing on the tambura and later incorporating devotional and Bundeli folk songs into his performances.

His talent was recognized by filmmaker and music producer Pankaj VRK after his song "More Sankat Ke Kataiya" garnered attention. Lodhi's collaboration with VRK led to his recording of eight songs for Hanuman Ansh, with "Tere Hi Bharose Hanuman" being the prominent track featured in the film. The singer expressed gratitude to God and the people who supported him throughout his journey.

The film's success can be attributed to word-of-mouth promotion, with its highest single-day collection happening on day 24 and reaching over Rs 53.82 crore at the domestic box office.
