Special Friendship Day screening of ‘Hanuman Ansh’ for underprivileged children ahead of release

Mumbai, Aug 4 (IANS) This Friendship Day, the makers of the forthcoming drama ‘Hanuman Ansh’ arranged a special screening for underprivileged children and their parents from Angel Xpress Foundation in Mumbai on 2 August.

During the screening, many openly voiced their admiration for Lord Hanuman. They further talked about how deeply they were touched by the teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, on whose life and legacy the movie is believed to be based.

Shobhinaw Satyaa, who will be seen as Neem Karoli Baba in the movie, said, “Hanuman Ansh is a film that every family can experience together. It beautifully introduces children to the teachings of Lord Hanuman and Shri Neeb Karori Baba, who inspired millions through their message of humility, compassion, and selfless service. In today’s fast-paced world, these values are more important than ever. I hope every parent brings their children to watch this film, because along with an emotional and spiritual journey, they will also take home lessons that can stay with them for life.”
