# Hanuman Ansh makers warn against unauthorised film rights claims

2026-11-02T11:48:15+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk

Corroboration: 3 independent outlets

Swambhu Media Network has issued a statement clarifying that no individual has independent authority to represent the film ‘Hanuman Ansh’ or to make decisions about its rights, publicity or business deals. The company named Namrata G Singh, Dr Vishal Chaturvedi, Ragini Sona and Anupriya Nagar as the four official producers, with Singh and Chaturvedi appointed the sole Executive Directors to handle all public relations, marketing, awards and partnerships. The statement warns that any unauthorised agreement, award claim or business arrangement will not be binding on the company or the producers. The clarification follows the film’s 87-day theatrical run during which it earned Rs 452.86 crore worldwide on a budget of Rs 2 crore, according to Sacnilk. The Indian Express reported that the team had previously faced disputes over publicity credit, and that producer Anupriya Nagar had become the film’s public face. Cast and crew have been instructed to seek approval before making any public appearances or statements about the project.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The three outlets all carry the same central facts from Swambhu Media Network's statement: no individual may independently handle Hanuman Ansh rights, and Namrata G Singh and Dr Vishal Chaturvedi are the sole Executive Directors. Indianexpress.com adds contextual detail about a dispute between producers over publicity credit and names Anupriya Nagar, aged 21, as the producer who became the film's public face. Hindustan Times and Times of India present the statement as a straightforward warning, without reporting earlier friction among the team. The Indian Express framing is thus more conflict-aware, while the other two strip the story to a corporate clarification. What is left open in all three accounts is whether the producers who are not named Executive Directors accept this arrangement, no source reports their response.
