Naga Vamsi announces Vayuputra: an animated film on Lord Hanuman’s story, releasing on Dussehra 2026

After the massive success of Mahavatar Narsimha at the box office, Telugu producer Naga Vamsi is all set to bring another mythological tale to life — and this time, it’s through animation.

On 10 September, Vamsi took to social media to unveil Vayuputra, an ambitious animated film based on the legendary journey of Lord Hanuman.

Sharing the powerful first-look poster, the Kingdom and Mahavatar producer wrote, “An immortal tale, reborn in a way the world has never witnessed. VAYUPUTRA ~ The Legend of Lord Hanuman, like never before. A story that we’ve been working on for the past couple of years. A brainchild of Chandoo Mondeti’s long-cherished vision, now taking shape as we begin production. A cinematic journey to inspire generations. In cinemas for Dussehra 2026, in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam & Kannada.”

People are already very excited after seeing the poster, which depicts one of the most famous scenes from the Ramayana: Hanuman standing tall over a burning Lanka with his tail on fire.

The imagery provides a novel and original viewpoint on the epic by hinting that the story may be told from Hanuman's point of view.
