Hanuman Ansh film gets its OTT premiere date amid internal tiff over rights

Hanuman Ansh, a film exploring faith and devotion based on Neem Karoli Baba's life, surpassed all expectations in 2026 by becoming the biggest box office success of the year. Created on a meager budget of Rs 2 crore, the movie amassed an astonishing 226.43 times its original investment, grossing Rs 452.86 crore worldwide. After its release on August 7, the film's creators announced Sony Pictures Networks India as their rights holder for both linear and digital platforms.

Scheduled to premiere on Sony LIV from November 27, the satellite premiere will occur on Sony MAX, with the exact television date yet to be revealed. Rumors of a potential Rs 100 crore OTT deal circulated, but the film's producers, Ragini Sona, Namrata Singh, and Anupriya Nagar, have remained tight-lipped about the final deal amount.

An internal dispute among producers has raised concerns about the decision-making process, particularly regarding the potential second installment of the trilogy. The film's team has officially stated that only Vishal Chaturvedi and Namrata Singh are authorized to handle public relations, marketing, awards, and partnerships.
