Karnataka’s Pride, Hombale Films, Takes Maharaj-ji’s Story to a Global Audience Hombale Films—Karnataka’s pride and a frontrunner in taking Indian stories and culture beyond borders to global audiences—has undertaken the responsibility of distributing the devotional film Hanuman Ansh internationally. Currently enjoying a successful run in India, the film is set for release in international markets on September 11, 2026. "Hanuman Ansh", Written and Directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, is based on the life of the renowned spiritual guru Neem Karoli Baba—affectionately known as Maharaj-ji—whom devotees believe to be an incarnation of Lord Hanuman. Maharaj-ji’s influence, rooted in his message of love, devotion, service, and spirituality, has transcended India’s borders to reach the entire world. He had a profound impact, particularly on the many Western spiritual seekers who visited India during the 1960s and 1970s. Hanu-Man Ansh, which has already been released in India, is performing successfully and has witnessed significant growth at the box office. Reports indicate that the film has garnered over ₹63.82 crore by its 26th day, rising from an initial earning of around ₹10 lakh. Positive audience reception and strong word-of-mouth have further bolstered the film's success. Maharaj-ji's spiritual influence also extends to global figures such as Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Julia Roberts. Steve Jobs came to India in 1974 on a spiritual quest to meet Maharaj-ji. Mark Zuckerberg also visited Kainchi Dham during his trip to India. Julia Roberts has shared how the image of Maharaj-ji influenced her spiritual journey.
