Vishal Chaturvedi’s spiritual drama Hanuman Ansh is set to continue its story with a second instalment. Released in theatres on August 7, the film has emerged as one of the surprise successes of 2026, gaining momentum through strong word of mouth. Following its impressive theatrical run, director Vishal Chaturvedi has confirmed that work on the sequel is already underway.
Vishal Chaturvedi confirms Hanuman Ansh 2
During a recent interaction with audiences at a multiplex in Agra, Vishal Chaturvedi opened up about his plans for the second part of Hanuman Ansh. The filmmaker revealed that the sequel will explore more significant chapters from Neem Karoli Baba’s life and delve further into his spiritual journey.
The story is expected to move beyond the setting of the first film and cover several locations closely associated with the spiritual figure. The narrative will reportedly begin in Firozabad, linked to Neem Karoli Baba’s birthplace, before moving to Agra, Mathura, and other places connected to his life and spiritual path.
By taking the story across these locations, the makers aim to offer a wider perspective on Neem Karoli Baba’s journey while continuing the spiritual narrative established in the first instalment.
Hanuman Ansh was always planned as a trilogy
The announcement of a sequel is not entirely unexpected, as Hanuman Ansh was conceived as part of a larger trilogy. When the project was officially announced on February 20, 2026, the makers had revealed their plans to tell the story across three films.
The franchise is inspired by Divine Detour, a book authored by Vishal Chaturvedi, which serves as the foundation for the spiritual saga.
Shobhinaw Satyaa leads Hanuman Ansh
Shobhinaw Satyaa portrays Neem Karoli Baba in Hanuman Ansh, serving as the central figure around whom the spiritual drama unfolds. The film also stars Chandan Anand, Purnima Tiwari and Vihaan Shedge in key roles.
With the first instalment leaving Baba’s story open for further exploration, Hanuman Ansh 2 is expected to take the narrative deeper into his life and spiritual journey. The sequel will build upon the foundation laid by the first film while exploring new chapters and locations associated with the revered spiritual figure.
