The director of the upcoming film ‘Hanuman Ansh’ disclosed that the entire shooting schedule adhered to a vegetarian diet and that he performed the Hanuman Chalisa each day on set.
The director of the new Hindi‑language film "Hanuman Ansh" has spoken about the on‑set practices that shaped the production. He said that every meal served to the cast and crew was strictly vegetarian, reflecting the devotional theme of the movie.
According to the director, the decision to keep the diet plant‑based was taken to maintain a spiritual atmosphere and to respect the religious sentiments associated with the story of Lord Hanuman.
He also shared that he personally recited the Hanuman Chalisa each morning before filming began, a ritual he believes helped set a focused and reverent tone for the day's work.
The remarks come as the film prepares for its release, offering audiences a glimpse into the disciplined environment behind the scenes.
