Director Vishal Chaturvedi has criticised the Hindi film industry for failing to support Hanuman Ansh when it was struggling, saying some people who did not help are now congratulating him after its success. The film, released on August 7, initially had more than 350 shows nationwide but faced reduced screenings because of competition from other releases. Chaturvedi said the movie gained momentum through word of mouth and direct audience engagement, with the film reportedly nearing ₹75 crore. He also described Bollywood as divided between genuinely passionate filmmakers and those pursuing filmmaking without sufficient commitment, questioning the industry’s understanding of what audiences will embrace.
