Producer Anupriya Nagar calls the success of ‘Hanuman Ansh’ a ‘miracle of Maharaj Ji’ (Neem Karoli Baba). She reveals she invested her life savings in the film, which was produced by three women, to share the story of the spiritual guru.
A Producer’s Leap of Faith
“Three women have produced this film, and I am the youngest. I joined during post-production. The team told me that the film had been made, but they did not have the funds for post-production. I put all my savings into this film because I felt a strong emotional connection to it. It is a very emotional project for me. Maharaji (Neem Karoli Baba) inspired so many foreigners, such as Larry Brilliant and Steve Jobs, but very few people in India know about Maharaj Ji. I want people to know his life story and visit his ashram,” she told ANI.
Clarifying Production Role
The producer also clarified a misconception surrounding her role in the film’s production. According to Nagar, Hanuman Ansh was produced by three women, and she is the youngest among them. “There is also a misconception that the entire film was produced by me, which is not true. I contributed one-third of the entire budget. Yes, we have recovered the money we invested, and the film is also doing well. The entire team believe that this is nothing but a miracle of Maharaj Ji that the film is doing so well…” she added.
