Hanuman Ansh was released on August 7, 2026, and has since made headlines. The film has been garnering immense attention and follows the life story of the spiritual leader, Neem Karoli Baba. The film initially had a quiet opening but has since surpassed Yash’s Toxic at the box office. The devotional drama is one of the biggest hits in its category so far this year. And the film’s director, Vishal Chaturvedi, has also confirmed a sequel.
As more people are heading to theatres to watch the film, its cast has also become a talking point. While Shobinaw Satyaa plays ‘Neem Karoli Baba’, popularly known as Maharaj Ji, actress Purnima Tiwari essays the role of his wife, ‘Rambeti Sharma’. However, did you know Shobinaw was not supposed to be the face of the film when he first joined the project?

Shobinaw Satyaa’s journey in Hanuman Ansh itself is no less than a film script. According to reports, he had joined the project as an assistant director and was working behind the camera when things took an unexpected turn. Apparently, the actor who was originally cast to play the revered saint fell ill, leaving Vishal Chaturvedi in a difficult situation, looking for someone who could do justice to the role.
