His understated social media gesture has nevertheless drawn attention, coming at a time when Hanuman Ansh is sustaining its theatrical run well into its fifth week.
The film’s latest ticket-sale figures indicate that ‘s audience pull has remained strong even several weeks after its release.

Released on August 7, Hanuman Ansh was reportedly made on a shoestring budget of just Rs 2 crore, yet it emerged as one of the year’s most profitable theatrical releases, even surpassing Ranveer Singh-starrer in terms of return on investment. Dhurandhar 2 was mounted on a significantly higher budget, with reports putting its individual production cost at around Rs 125 crore. Based on the figures currently being reported, the film delivered an impressive profit of nearly 1,000 per cent.
However, Hanuman Ansh has achieved an even more striking return because of its exceptionally low production cost. With its theatrical earnings already crossing 20 times its reported Rs 2-crore budget, the film’s profit percentage is nearing the 2,000 per cent mark, making its box-office performance an extraordinary case of profitability.
