'Put all my savings into film': 'Hanuman Ansh' producer Anupriya

'I put all my savings into this film': 'Hanuman Ansh' producer Anupriya Nagar recalls financial hurdles and eventual success of over Rs 200 crore

'Hanuman Ansh' has struck a chord with audiences, turning into a notable success while sparking widespread discussion around its narrative and spiritual core. Producer Anupriya Nagar, speaking about the film's path from a troubled production phase to its current acceptance, credits the turnaround to what she calls a "miracle of Maharaj Ji" (Neem Karoli Baba), whose teachings inspired the film.

Let's learn more about what she has to say.

Anupriya Nagar on joining the project

Sharing how she came on board, Anupriya Nagar told ANI, "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."

Clearing the misconception

Anupriya Nagar also addressed rumours suggesting she single-handedly bankrolled the movie. She said, "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."
