New Delhi .Hanuman Ansh is in discussion among the audience these days. Apart from getting positive response from the audience and critics in theatres, the film is also reported to perform well at the box office. Amidst this success, the film's director Vishal Chaturvedi has expressed his displeasure about the attitude of the industry.
Vishal Chaturvedi told that before the release of the film, he did not get the expected support from many people of Bollywood. According to him, before the film reached the theatres, a largely disappointing atmosphere was created about it and many people had raised questions on its chances of running.
According to the director, due to priority being given to big films, the shows and screens of Hanuman Ansh were also reduced significantly. He told that the show count of the film was reduced from about 250 to just 25. In such circumstances, taking the film to the audience had become a big challenge for the team.
Vishal said that after the film was released and was liked among the audience, calls started coming from many people. He told that some people congratulated him for the success, but he did not want to make public the names of people from whom he had sought help before the release of the film and did not get the support.
The director made a separate mention of Madhur Bhandarkar in this context. He told that Madhur Bhandarkar appreciated the film without any demand and congratulated him. According to Vishal, that is why he takes his name with respect, whereas he does not want to take the names of those who did not support him in difficult times.
Vishal Chaturvedi also expressed his opinion regarding the functioning of the industry. He said that many times in the field of film production, people start giving their opinion about the future of a project without complete information. According to him, some people are serious and passionate about filmmaking, while others just see it as an experiment or an option.
The story of Hanuman Ansh is said to be related to the life of Neem Karauli Baba. The film is written and directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, while Shobhinav Satya plays the role of Neem Karauli Baba. As the discussion about the film increased among the audience, its performance also saw continuous improvement.
Madhur Bhandarkar also gave positive feedback about the film. After watching the film, he praised Vishal Chaturvedi's direction and Shobhinav Satya's acting. Apart from them, Kangana Ranaut also praised the film and appealed to the audience to watch it in theatres.
As per available data, the film had earned around Rs 10 lakh on the first day. After this, with the strong response from the audience, the film's earnings increased and till now its business has been reported to have reached Rs 72.88 crore.
The success of the film also showed that audience reaction can affect a film's performance despite limited showings. After Vishal Chaturvedi's statement, now with the success of Hanuman Ansh, his comments regarding the support received before the release of the film and the attitude of the industry are also in discussion.
