Complaint against Rishabh Shetty:

The actor and director of Jai Hanuman have come under legal scrutiny due to the film's poster. An advocate from the High Court has submitted a case against Rishab Shetty, director Prasanth Verma, and the producers at Mythri Movie Makers for the incorrect depiction of Lord Hanuman in the Jai Hanuman poster.

Mamidal Thirumal Rao, an advocate in the High Court, filed a case against the Jai Hanuman team in Nampally. The advocate recently held a press conference to make his concerns public. He alleged that the makers have misrepresented Lord Hanuman, as in Hindu culture, it is widely known that Lord Hanuman has the face of a monkey, whereas the poster depicts the character with a human face.

"The teaser of Jai Hanuman was released in October by Mythri Movie Makers, represented by their producers Ravi Shankar and Naveen Yerneni, directed by Prasanth Varma, and featuring Rishab Shetty, an award-winning actor. The poster shows Rishab as a mighty king with a muscular body, but his face is human. This means they have offensively depicted Lord Hanuman with a human face," Rao stated in his complaint.

"Rishab Shetty is the focus because he is an award-winning actor and not Hanuman. I filed a case in criminal court regarding this, which was accepted. I presented my argument. Because of this, I must prove how Hanuman looks. I provided examples of how He is depicted in different countries to do that. If we let this continue, the younger generation won't understand that Hanuman isn't human. We will have to prove otherwise, even for other gods like Ganesh and Varaha Swami, when they create whatever they want to make money. We cannot allow that to happen," he added while solidifying his argument.
