Prasanth Varma

Prasanth Varma is an Indian film director and screenwriter who works predominantly in Telugu cinema, renowned for his innovative narratives blending genres like sci-fi, horror, and mythology. Born on 29 May 1989 in Andhra Pradesh, he has directed acclaimed films including the experimental anthology Awe (2018), the action-thriller Kalki (2019), the zombie comedy Zombie Reddy (2021), and the superhero epic Hanu-Man (2024), which marked a commercial breakthrough and established his reputation for culturally rooted storytelling on modest budgets.^[1] Varma's career began in the digital space with the short film Deenamma Jeevitham in 2011, during the early days of online video platforms like Orkut and YouTube, where it garnered significant views without relying on viral trends.^[2] His feature debut, Awe, featured an ensemble cast including Nani, Kajal Aggarwal, and Regina Cassandra, and drew comparisons to nonlinear films like Pulp Fiction for its interconnected stories exploring human emotions through unconventional elements like a psychologist's chair and an orbiting spaceship.^[3] Subsequent works like Zombie Reddy satirized Rayalaseema faction tropes in a zombie apocalypse setting, showcasing his ability to infuse humor and social commentary into genre films.^[4] The release of Hanu-Man in January 2024 propelled Varma to national prominence, as the film—centered on a young man gaining Hanuman's powers in the fictional village of Anjanadri—blended devotion, action, and VFX on a limited budget, earning praise for its fresh take on Indian superhero tropes distinct from Western models.^[5] It achieved a rare 100-day theatrical run in 15 centers and grossed over ₹275 crore worldwide, leading to expansions in Varma's Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU), including the sequel Jai Hanuman (upcoming, starring Rishab Shetty) and Mahakali (directed by Puja Aparna Kolluru, starring Bhoomi Shetty).^[6]^[7] In November 2025, Varma was involved in a public dispute with the Hanu-Man producer over production delays attributed to financial constraints. For Hanu-Man, Varma received the National Film Award for Best Film in Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics (AVGC), as well as Best Stunt Choreography, alongside a Critics' Choice Best Director award at the 13th South Indian International Movie Awards (SIIMA) in 2025.^[8]^[9] Additionally, he co-founded Scriptsville in 2018 with his sister Sneha Sameera, an organization dedicated to nurturing Telugu screenwriters and streamlining content creation for films and web series.^[10]

Early years

Early life

Prasanth Varma was born on 29 May 1989 in Palakollu, a town in the West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, India, into a Telugu-speaking family.^[11]^[12]^[2] His parents are Narayana Raju and Kanaka Durga, the latter of whom served as a teacher at B.R.M.V.M. High School in Palakollu.^[11] He has one younger sister, Sneha Sameera, who later became an artisan and collaborator in his professional endeavors.^[12] During his early years, Varma's family relocated from Palakollu to Hyderabad in Telangana, where he spent much of his childhood alongside his father and sister, while his mother continued teaching in their hometown before eventually joining them.^[2] This move exposed him to the vibrant urban culture of Hyderabad, blending rural Andhra roots with the cosmopolitan influences of the city, which shaped his early worldview.^[11] From a young age, Varma displayed a strong interest in storytelling, mythology, and cinema, particularly inspired by Telugu films and Hindu epics like the Ramayana.^[13] He has often recounted a childhood fascination with mythological figures such as Hanuman, which fueled his desire to explore blends of mythology and socio-fantasy in his creative pursuits.^[14]^[13]

Education and initial interests

Varma completed his schooling at local institutions in Hyderabad, including Sri Saraswathi Shishu Mandir in Fathenagar, where he excelled academically as one of the class toppers and actively participated in extracurricular activities such as javelin throw, badminton, and quiz competitions.^[15] He pursued higher education at CVR College of Engineering in Hyderabad, earning a Bachelor of Technology degree in Computer Science in 2010.^[15]^[16] During his college years, Varma developed a growing passion for filmmaking and screenwriting, becoming hooked on cinema from an early age and teaching himself the craft by extensively watching films and reading scripts.^[2] He began experimenting with creative pursuits, including shooting music videos, while balancing his engineering studies, and nurtured an initial hobby of writing short stories inspired by Indian mythology—a theme that would later shape his professional work.^[2]^[17]

Professional career

Early works (2011–2017)

Prasanth Varma made his directorial debut with the short film Deenamma Jeevitham in 2011, a low-budget production that he self-financed to explore themes of everyday struggles in rural settings through a comedic lens.^[2] The film, which garnered over 10 lakh views on the early social platform Orkut, marked his initial foray into storytelling and technical aspects like editing, honed during his engineering studies.^[2] This project laid the groundwork for his experimentation with narrative forms in the Telugu independent scene. Throughout the mid-2010s, Varma directed several subsequent short films, including Savi3 in 2015 and Dialogue in the Dark in 2016, the latter being an experimental work centered on sensory experiences through virtual audio techniques, positioning it as India's first short film of its kind.^[18]^[19] These efforts, shared on online platforms like YouTube, contributed to his growing recognition within Telugu indie filmmaking circles, where they accumulated significant viewership and sparked discussions on innovative low-budget production.^[20] Alongside shorts, Varma built practical experience by creating advertisements, music videos, and corporate content, such as a web series for Yup TV featuring cricketer Brian Lara, completing projects in as little as one month to refine his skills.^[20]^[21] A pivotal moment arrived in 2017 when Varma pitched the script for what would become his feature debut Awe to actor Nani, who had been impressed by Dialogue in the Dark and agreed to produce it via Wall Poster Cinema, elevating the project beyond initial short-film constraints.^[2]^[3] This transition from indie shorts and commercial gigs to backed feature production underscored his evolving reputation as a versatile storyteller in the Telugu industry.^[20]

Breakthrough period (2018–2021)

Prasanth Varma transitioned to feature filmmaking with his directorial debut Awe! in 2018, an anthology film that interwove multiple narratives across genres including science fiction, romance, and thriller. The story unfolds through interconnected tales centered around unusual encounters at a restaurant, featuring an ensemble cast led by Kajal Aggarwal, Nithya Menen, Regina Cassandra, Eesha Rebba, Priyadarshi Pullikonda, and Srinivas Avasarala. Critics praised the film's innovative non-linear structure and bold experimentation, describing it as a "wonderfully bizarre" and daring departure from conventional Telugu cinema storytelling.^[22] The movie's visual effects and makeup were particularly acclaimed, earning it the National Film Awards for Best Special Effects and Best Makeup at the 66th edition in 2019.^[23] In 2019, Varma directed Kalki, an action-thriller that integrated mythological motifs from Hindu lore into a contemporary investigative framework, with the protagonist IPS officer Kalki embodying the prophesied avatar. Starring Rajasekhar in the lead role alongside Adah Sharma, Rahul Ramakrishna, Nandita Swetha, and Ashutosh Rana, the film explored a chain of crimes tied to ancient prophecies in a modern rural setting. Despite a modest budget of approximately ₹10 crore, it was noted for its effective use of visual effects to blend supernatural elements with procedural drama, though reception highlighted its uneven pacing amid ambitious subplots.^[24]^[25] This project further showcased Varma's interest in fusing mythology with genre tropes, earning appreciation for its thematic depth despite mixed critical responses. Varma's exploration of unconventional genres continued with Zombie Reddy in 2021, marking the first zombie film in Telugu cinema—a horror-comedy that incorporated social commentary on technology's perils through a narrative involving a game developer caught in a zombie outbreak triggered by experimental research. Featuring Teja Sajja, Anandhi, and Daksha Nagarkar, the film was released amid the COVID-19 pandemic, drawing parallels between its fictional apocalypse and real-world isolation, while emphasizing humor and visual effects to depict the chaos in Rayalaseema's faction-ridden backdrop. Reviewers commended its lighthearted tone and creative VFX sequences, positioning it as a modest success that grossed reasonably given theatrical constraints.^[26]^[27] During this period, Varma established a growing reputation for seamlessly blending diverse genres with mythological undertones, which attracted industry attention and paved the way for broader collaborations in Telugu cinema. His ability to handle ensemble casts and experimental narratives, building on script ideas pitched as early as 2017, solidified his shift from short films to commercially viable features.^[24]

Recent successes and expansion (2022–present)

In 2024, Prasanth Varma achieved a major commercial breakthrough with Hanu-Man, a Telugu-language superhero film inspired by Hanuman mythology, produced on a modest budget of approximately ₹40 crore. The film grossed approximately ₹295 crore worldwide, marking it as one of the highest-grossing Indian superhero debuts and a Sankranti blockbuster that outperformed competitors like Guntur Kaaram.^[28]^[29] Hanu-Man received widespread critical acclaim for its innovative storytelling, impressive visual effects on a limited budget, and broad pan-India appeal through multilingual releases, including Hindi dubbing that boosted its northern market performance. Filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli publicly praised Varma's vision, highlighting the film's authentic integration of mythology with superhero tropes during promotional events. At the 71st National Film Awards in 2025, it won the Best Film in AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics) category and Best Action Direction, alongside several state-level honors for technical excellence and popular appeal.^[30]^[31] Building on this success, Varma announced the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU) in 2023, a shared franchise centered on interconnected mythology-based superhero narratives to expand Indian superhero storytelling beyond Western influences. The PVCU's Phase 1 includes upcoming projects such as the sequel Jai Hanuman (slated for 2025 release, directed by Varma and starring Rishab Shetty), Adhira (2025, an origin story exploring divine warrior themes), Mahakali (2026, India's first female-led superhero film challenging beauty norms in action cinema, with first-look reveal featuring Bhoomi Shetty on October 30, 2025), and Rakshas (TBD, a high-stakes mythological thriller). These films involve collaborations with studios like RKD Studios, emphasizing pan-Indian production and international festival screenings to broaden global reach. In November 2025, Varma addressed a public dispute with Hanu-Man producer K. Niranjan Reddy over an alleged ₹20 crore advance payment for undelivered projects.^[32]^[33]^[34]^[7]^[35]

Scriptsville Studios

Scriptsville is a creative organization co-founded by Prasanth Varma and his sister Sneha Sameera in 2018 to bolster screenwriting talent and practices within Telugu cinema.^[10] The initiative emerged from their shared vision to professionalize script development, addressing gaps in structured writing support for filmmakers and aspiring writers in the industry.^[10] The company specializes in screenplay development for genre-driven narratives, particularly mythological and horror elements, providing comprehensive scripting services for independent projects.^[36] Notable contributions include the screenplay for Zombie Reddy (2021), Varma's debut directorial feature that blended zombie horror with regional tropes, and Hanu-Man (2024), a low-budget mythological superhero film that achieved significant commercial success.^[36]^[37] Scriptsville's approach emphasizes innovative storytelling on constrained budgets, fostering an environment that prioritizes creative freedom for writers and directors.^[10] Within the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU), launched in 2023, Scriptsville serves as the primary scripting partner, overseeing narrative development for interconnected mythological projects such as Mahakali and Adhira.^[38] This role extends to talent scouting and pre-production scripting to ensure cohesive world-building across films.^[37] By 2025, the organization had expanded its scope to include digital content creation for web series and ongoing workshops aimed at nurturing young Telugu writers, aligning with its foundational goal of generating high-quality, accessible scripts.^[10]

Filmography

As director

Varma began his directorial career with short films before transitioning to feature films. His notable short films include Deenamma Jeevitham (2011), a comedy exploring everyday frustrations; A Silent Melody (2014), which focuses on emotional storytelling through minimal dialogue; Savi3 (2015), a Telugu short delving into personal relationships; and Dialogue in the Dark (2016), India's first short film utilizing virtual audio for an immersive experience designed to be viewed with eyes closed and earphones.^[39]^[40]^[18]^[19] In feature films, Varma directed Awe! (2018), an anthology blending multiple narratives with experimental elements. This was followed by Kalki (2019), an action thriller centered on investigation and revenge. His next project, Zombie Reddy (2021), marked his entry into the horror-comedy genre with a zombie outbreak storyline set in a rural backdrop. Varma's most recent release is Hanu-Man (2024), a superhero film drawing from Hindu mythology. He has no television directing credits as of 2025.^[1]^[25] Upcoming, Varma is directing Jai Hanuman (2026), the second installment in his Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe, continuing the mythological superhero theme.^[34]

As producer

Varma's production endeavors began with self-financing and producing several short films between 2011 and 2017, including his debut Deenamma Jeevitham, which garnered significant online attention during the Orkut era.^[2] These independent projects, numbering over 50 including advertisements and web series like Dialogue in the Dark, allowed him to experiment with storytelling and technical aspects before entering feature film production.^[41] As of 2025, Varma has limited his major production involvements to initiatives within his Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU), avoiding external banners for principal production roles. The superhero film Hanu-Man (2024) was produced by Primeshow Entertainment, with Varma partnering on the PVCU's flagship project amid a high-profile collaboration that included distribution by Mythri Movie Makers in key territories like Nizam.^[42] Looking ahead, Varma is slated to produce Mahakali (2026), a female-led superhero entry in the PVCU, emphasizing mythological elements and empowerment themes. Varma's production collaborations extend to partnerships with established studios, such as RKD Studios for the upcoming Adhira, where he oversees creative development alongside production efforts to introduce a new superhero narrative.^[43] These alliances highlight his role in scaling PVCU projects through shared resources and expertise, focusing on innovative Indian superhero storytelling without venturing into unrelated external productions.

As screenwriter

Varma's screenwriting career began with short films during his early professional years. His debut script was for the 2011 Telugu comedy short Deenamma Jeevitham, a humorous take on everyday struggles that he also directed.^[39] Subsequent short film scripts included Savi3 (2015), a narrative exploring interpersonal dynamics, and A Silent Melody (2014), which delved into themes of unspoken emotions through visual storytelling.^[18]^[40] By 2017, he penned Dialogue in the Dark, an innovative audio-focused short that simulated sensory deprivation, marking one of India's early experiments in virtual audio filmmaking.^[44] Transitioning to feature films, Varma wrote original screenplays for his directorial debuts, blending genre elements with Telugu cultural nuances. For Awe! (2018), he crafted a multi-layered script intertwining multiple storylines around a coffee shop encounter. His follow-up, Kalki (2019), featured an original screenplay centered on a taxi driver's odyssey with a mysterious passenger. In 2021, Varma scripted Zombie Reddy, a horror-comedy about a video game developer facing a zombie outbreak during a college fest. This period established his style of original, self-contained narratives without adaptations. Scriptsville Studios provided the screenplay for Zombie Reddy. Varma's most prominent screenplay to date is for Hanu-Man (2024), an original story in the superhero genre inspired by Hindu mythology, where a young man gains Hanuman's powers in a rural village setting. As of 2025, he has no standalone writing credits on films directed by others. Expanding into a shared universe, Varma is developing original scripts for the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU), drawing from Hindu mythological figures. These include Jai Hanuman (2026), a sequel expanding the Hanu-Man lore; Adhira (upcoming), featuring a new character rooted in epic traditions; and Mahakali (2026), centered on the goddess's fierce aspects (writer).^[45]^[46]^[47]

Personal life and controversies

Personal life

Prasanth Varma was born to Narayana Raju and Kanaka Durga, a government school teacher, in a Telugu family. He shares a close bond with his sister, Sneha Sameera, an artisan, and has often credited his family's support for enabling his career transition from engineering to filmmaking despite initial concerns about his passion for cinema.^[11]^[48] Varma keeps his personal relationships private, with no public disclosures regarding marriage or partners as of 2025. His non-professional interests include athletics, stemming from his school and college days when he competed in events like javelin throw, badminton, and cricket, and trained in karate, reflecting his ongoing enthusiasm for fitness. He also draws inspiration from Hindu mythology and scriptures, using them to infuse cultural depth into his films and encourage audience exploration of Indian heritage.^[11]^[49] Based in Hyderabad since childhood, Varma frequently travels for projects under his Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe banner, where he has established a production office to support his creative endeavors. In philanthropy, the Hanu-Man team, led by Varma, donated ₹2.66 crore from 2024 ticket sales to the Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust for the Ayodhya Ram Mandir construction, highlighting his commitment to cultural causes.^[2]^[50]^[51]

Controversies

In November 2025, producer Niranjan Reddy of Primeshow Entertainment accused director Prasanth Varma of receiving a ₹20 crore advance for the film Mahakali and another project within the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU), but failing to deliver scripts or commence production as agreed.^[52] Reddy claimed the payments were made in installments starting from 2022, with the dispute originating from the aftermath of their collaboration on Hanu-Man.^[53] Reddy filed a formal complaint alleging breach of contract, initially lodged with the Telugu Film Producers Council on October 11, 2025, and escalating to the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce, where he sought ₹200 crore in compensation for alleged losses and demanded a halt to related productions by other studios.^[54] He further accused Varma of diverting the projects to alternative banners, including those backed by Hombale Films and Mythri Movie Makers.^[55] Varma responded publicly on November 2, 2025, via social media and press statements, denying the allegations as a "misinformation campaign" and describing them as "false, baseless, and retaliatory."^[52] He affirmed that work on the projects was ongoing, noting that his production company, Scriptsville Studios—which plays a central role in developing PVCU content—had provided partial script deliveries, and countered that he was underpaid for Hanu-Man despite its commercial success.^[53] The dispute triggered a brief media storm in Telugu cinema circles, with both parties filing counter-complaints before industry bodies, but no resolution had been reached as of November 2025.^[54] It has reportedly complicated ongoing funding discussions for PVCU expansions, casting uncertainty over several interconnected projects.^[55]
