Amid the buzz, continue reading to know the true story behind the filmmaking and what to expect from the movie.
Hanuman Ansh is inspired by the legacy of saint Shri Neeb Karori Baba
Shri Neeb Karori Baba, also known as Baba Neeb Karori Maharaj, was born in the village of Akbarpur in Uttar Pradesh. At the tender age of 8-9 years old, Maharaj ji lost his mother, Smt. Kausalya Devi. At the age of 11, Baba was married to ShubhshriRam Beti of the village Badam Baas. Later, when he turned 12, Baba left his home and returned after a gap of 10 to 12 years.
Reports state that the upcoming film, Hanuman Ansh, directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, is inspired by the legacy of Shri Neeb Karori Baba. In a recent interview with ANI, Vishal clarified that Hanuman Ansh is not a conventional biopic but rather a spiritual journey rooted in true human emotions, devotion and service. Vishal also explained why he deliberately didn’t use Baba’s name in the title. The director added how he converted it into a story. In his words:
"I was very conscious about not using his name directly. When I reached Neeb Karori village during my research, people there told me he was known as 'Anshik Hanuman' or 'Anshik Avatar'. 'Hanuman Ansh' is a conceptual name. I am not saying directly that Neeb Karori Baba was Hanuman Ansh. It is a story of a concept named 'Hanuman Ansh', which is based on Neeb Karori Baba's life. I studied Indian authors, books, websites and references, spoke to people and also conducted my own research at places connected with Baba. I later compiled all this into a book called 'Divine Detour', and from those sources I converted it into a story."
What to expect in the film, Hanuman Ansh?
Hanuman Ansh follows a young boy who embarks on a transformative spiritual journey after a devastating loss. During this journey, the boy seeks God to meet his departed mother and later discovers that God is found in serving others. Renouncing his identity, he transforms himself into 'Hanuman Ansh'. In the same interview, Vishal shared that Hanuman Ansh is meant for today’s youth. In his words:
"I didn't want to make a film only for those who already believe in Baba. Today's youth is already connected with spirituality. Most of Neeb Karori Baba's devotees are Gen Z. Good music and good storytelling can connect with young audiences without changing the soul of the story."
The film is not based on a miracle-driven narrative, shared director Vishal. He also mentioned that the spiritual drama was written around human emotions and sensibilities. Explaining it further, Vishal said, "We haven't made a miracle film. We have made a film on Maharaj ji's 'Leelas'. This film is written around human emotions and sensibilities. It shows how a saint can bring long-term change in society through compassion, service and his message." The film’s synopsis can be read as:
"Baba as a saint who remains untouched by power, politics, ownership and praise, while his simple message becomes the spiritual centre of the story."
