When Sanjay Dutt’s profile lit up with a photo of a young producer, the buzz wasn’t just about the picture—it was a nod to a story that began in a cramped UK flat.
Anupriya Nagar, 21, stepped into the limelight after the film’s shoot wrapped, offering a third of the post‑production budget to keep the biopic of Neem Karoli Baba alive. “People think I’ve poured in the entire amount,” she clarified to the press, “but I just chipped in a third.”
Since its March premiere, Hanuman Ansh has rattled the box office, crossing ₹394.97 Cr in gross and ₹334.52 Cr net across 216 Indian screens. Dr. Vishal Chaturvedi’s direction and the lead work of Shobhinaw Satyaa and Chandan Anand have kept audiences glued.
Sanjay’s Instagram salute—“I’ve seen films come and go… what you’ve achieved for @hanumanansh at just 21 is truly remarkable”—sent a ripple through the industry, reminding veterans that the next wave of talent can still make waves.
With a fortnight of shows still to play and a streaming window looming, the film’s momentum could carry Anupriya into a long‑term production career, while Sanjay’s endorsement might just open doors for other young filmmakers.
