The much-anticipated mythological epic Chiranjeevi Hanuman has officially entered the production phase, marking a major milestone in the film’s development journey. The makers have announced that motion capture filming has commenced at Galleri5 Cinematic Studio in Bengaluru, setting the stage for what is expected to be one of the most technologically ambitious mythological films to emerge from India.

Chiranjeevi Hanuman moves into production; filming begins for ambitious mythological epic

Produced by Vijay Subramaniam under The Collective Studios’ Historyverse banner and directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Rajesh Mapuskar, Chiranjeevi Hanuman aims to bring the story of Lord Hanuman to the big screen through a unique blend of cutting-edge visual technology and immersive storytelling.

The beginning of motion capture work signals the transition from years of planning and development into active production. Motion capture technology, widely used in large-scale international productions, enables filmmakers to capture the performances of actors and translate them into highly detailed digital characters and environments. The technique is expected to play a crucial role in recreating the larger-than-life world of Lord Hanuman and the epic adventures associated with the revered mythological figure.

Sharing the update, producer Vijay Subramaniam expressed his excitement about the project reaching this important stage. He described the start of production as a significant achievement for the entire team, which has spent considerable time developing the creative and technological framework required to bring the vision to life.

Chiranjeevi Hanuman also holds special significance as the first theatrical feature to emerge from The Collective Studios’ Historyverse initiative. The ambitious banner has been conceived with the objective of presenting India’s rich historical and mythological narratives to contemporary audiences through innovative storytelling techniques and world-class production values.

With Indian cinema increasingly embracing advanced visual effects and virtual production technologies, Chiranjeevi Hanuman is expected to push the boundaries of mythological storytelling. The project seeks to offer audiences a cinematic experience that combines the emotional depth and cultural significance of traditional mythology with modern filmmaking tools.

Directed by Rajesh Mapuskar, who is known for his acclaimed work across films and storytelling formats, the film has already generated considerable curiosity among audiences and industry observers alike.

As motion capture filming gets underway in Bengaluru, Chiranjeevi Hanuman takes a significant step closer to the big screen, promising a grand-scale retelling of one of India’s most beloved and enduring mythological icons. More details regarding the cast and release timeline are expected to be announced in the coming months.
