Following the historic and miraculous box-office run of the biographical spiritual drama
“Hanuman Anash” 21-year-old co-producer and economics graduate Anupriya Nagar
has announced that she will be redirecting her share of the film’s massive proceeds toward philanthropy, prioritizing the support of underprivileged children and giving back to society.
Anupriya’ s altruistic milestone has captured the public’s imagination. Rather than leveraging her newfound financial success for luxury personal purchases, she is choosing to focus entirely on social impact—a decision that has drawn widespread admiration across the film industry and social media

An alumnus of the University of Bath, UK, initially she had no plans to enter filmmaking. While studying economics, she discovered the profound spiritual legacy of Neem Karoli Baba
Risking everything, Anupriya invested her entire life savings earned from working part-time jobs in the UK to fund one-third of the film’s total shoestring budget of ₹2 crore. Released on August 7, 2026, by Swambhu Media Network Pvt. Ltd. alongside co-producers Namrata Singh and Ragini Sona “Hanuman Ansh” opened to a modest ₹10 lakh on Day 1.
However, powered by an unprecedented wave of word-of-mouth devotion, the film
featuring Chandan Anand and ShobhinavSatyaa
in lead roles transformed into one of the biggest box-office success stories of 2026, crossing the Rs.268 crore mark globally.
The film’s team deliberately focused on reverence over commercialization—even unveiling its first poster at Neem Karoli Baba’s samadhi in Vrindavan.
In a recent media briefing, Anupriya asserted that she wasn’t aware what she could contribute because she hadn’t done filmmaking, but was ready to give her heart and soul to it. Profit was never the main goal. Now that Maharaj Ji has blessed them with this incredible success, her priority is to use these resources to provide education, healthcare, and sustainable support for underprivileged children.
Details regarding the specifc non-profit foundations and child welfare projects being backed by the film’s proceeds will be shared by the production house in the coming weeks.
