The poster showcased the Kannada actor as Lord Hanuman holding onto an idol of Lord Rama.
Sharing the poster on X, Rishab Shetty wrote: “With the blessings of Anjaneya, the son of Kannada, we have brought the greatest feeling of Indian history to the stage. May your love, support and blessings always remain as usual – Jai Hanuman. A vow from the Tretayuga, bound to be fulfilled in the Kaliyuga. We bring forth an epic of loyalty, courage and devotion.”

Prasanth Varma’s directorial Hanu-Man is all about a village lad, who similar to the Hindu god Hanuman discovers his powers and saves his village.
The film was released in the four south Indian languages and Hindi on 12 January, during the Sankranthi. Headlined by Teja Sajja, the film became a superhit surpassing all other star-studded Sankranthi releases.
Hanu-Man was up against Mahesh Babu, Venkatesh, and Nagarjuna — three big stars of Tollywood.
It not only held its own among all four Sankranthi releases but also emerged as the biggest winner.
