The film ‘Hanuman Ansh’, based on the life of Neem Karoli Baba, continues to dominate the box office. While audiences are flocking to cinema halls to watch this film directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, some fascinating and surprising incidents from its shooting schedule have also become a topic of discussion. One such incident reportedly occurred in a village where the film was shot. According to locals, not a single monkey had been seen in the village for a long time; however, a monkey suddenly appeared there after the shooting of ‘Hanuman Ansh’ began. This incident took the film crew by surprise as well.
Viewers who have watched the film will certainly remember the scene where Lakshman Das arrives at ‘Neem Karoli Gram’. He carves an idol of Mahabali Hanuman out of stone with his own hands for the devotees to worship. Later, he installs the idol beneath a tree located in front of his cave. An incident that occurred during this time is considered one of the film’s most interesting moments: just as Lakshman Das was painting the Hanuman idol, a monkey suddenly appeared on the tree.
The film features several scenes involving this monkey. After the ‘Hanuman’ segment concluded, the makers shared behind-the-scenes footage and photographs from the set. These visuals also captured the story of how the monkey had unexpectedly arrived in the village. In a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot, some villagers are seen recounting the incident. According to them, a monkey suddenly appeared in the village while the shooting was underway. It was holding a ‘puri’ in its hand. The monkey climbed onto the statue of Hanuman and eventually sat on the statue’s head.
