‘He Supported Us Without Even Seeing The Trailer’: Anupriya Nagar On CMD Upendrra Rai’s Backing

Hanuman Ansh, a film centred on Hanuman devotion, spirituality and the miracles associated with Baba Neem Karoli, continues to gain popularity among audiences.

Following the film’s success, producer Anupriya Nagar and her team received a grand felicitation in Delhi.

During the event, Nagar expressed her gratitude to Upendrra Rai, Chairman & Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief of Bharat Express News Network, for supporting the film when it had limited mainstream media attention. She recalled that Bharat Express became one of the first media networks to back the project during its promotional phase.

Nagar said CMD Upendrra Rai supported the film without even watching its trailer or seeing its poster. She highlighted his early backing as an important source of encouragement when the team was working to promote the film.

‘हनुमान अंश’ की स्पेशल स्क्रीनिंग को इतना विशेष बनाने के लिए आदरणीय उपेन्द्र राय जी और भारत एक्सप्रेस का हृदय से आभार। 🙏

महाराज जी की कहानी को मिल रहा यह स्नेह मेरे लिए अनमोल है।

जय हनुमान। जय नीम करौली बाबा।#HanumanAnsh #NeemKaroliBaba pic.twitter.com/uqSEnpt1Mr

Bharat Express News Network used its wider platform to promote the film and support its outreach. CMD Upendrra Rai attended a special screening of Hanuman Ansh at a PVR cinema in Delhi with his family.

Nagar said she made the film to connect young people with Sanatan Dharma and announced its second part.

Govind Dev Giri Maharaj praised the film and called for more Hanuman temples nationwide.

Addressing the Krishna Janmabhoomi issue, Govind Dev Giri Maharaj said there was no need for a public movement as the matter remained before the court and expressed confidence in receiving justice. He further criticised the recent theft reported at the Ayodhya Ram Temple complex as wrong and called for stronger measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
