Despite its initial low budget, “HanuMan” has transcended boundaries and garnered global success, trending on ZEE5 Global in key markets such as the USA, UK, UAE, Canada, and Australia. Notably, the film has contributed to nearly 60% of the platform’s subscriptions from the US alone.

Archana Anand, Chief Business Officer at ZEE5 Global, expressed her delight over the remarkable success of “HanuMan”. She emphasized that the film beautifully captures the essence of South Asian culture by blending tradition with modernity. Anand noted that “HanuMan” has quickly become one of the top titles on the platform, further driving the demand for Telugu content globally, particularly in the US.

As “HanuMan” continues to captivate audiences worldwide, ZEE5 Global anticipates further growth in Telugu content viewership and subscription numbers, solidifying its position as a premier destination for diverse and engaging entertainment.
