Later, director Prasanth Varma spoke about it in an exclusive chat with IndiaToday.in. He mentioned, “Our producer is a very religious person. Also as a community, we the Telugu people, or you can say South Indians, are very devoted and in a way, superstitious. So, we think if what we have asked for happens, then we have to go ahead and fulfil something.”

He continued, “So when our producer heard of Ram Mandir being made, irrespective of whether the film will be a big hit and make money or not, he decided to donate five rupees out of every ticket being sold for the film to the Ram Mandir. He told this to Chiru sir (Chiranjeevi), who announced it on stage. So, from the first day collection itself, we have donated around Rs 14 lakh to the temple. And touch wood, the way the film is picking up, it might be a couple of crores that we donate to Ram Mandir.”

'HanuMan' is witnessing a dream run in theatres and crossed the Rs 100-crore mark in India.
