Hanuman Ansh director Hanuman Ansh says that Bollywood and industry support did not help his film initially, but that some of the same people later congratulate him. He frames the shift as people who “didn’t help” now offering praise after the film’s progress.
The outlets also report that the film began with a large number of screenings across India—more than 350 shows—before its theatrical presence declines. The director points to competition from other releases as a key factor for the reduced number of shows.
While the reports focus on the director’s remarks about industry relationships, they converge on the basic release picture: a strong start in exhibition followed by contraction due to competing films. Different wording emphasizes his critique of Bollywood versus his acknowledgment of later congratulations, but both elements appear in the overall account.
