Following the success of Hanuman-Ansh, Cinepolis is backing the Anshuman Jha and Raghubir Yadav starrer Om Ka Hari as its next major bet on strong, content-led Hindi cinema, in theatres through its distribution arm. Directed by Harish Vyas, Om Ka Hari brings together a spiritually resonant title, a warm familial drama-comedy and the universally relatable theme of the oldest rivalry — Father Vs Son.

Your thoughts? It’s very reassuring to see that something that you’ve been working on for so long has been appreciated. But it also comes with its own set of responsibilities. Now, I think the expectations are sky-high. The responsibility is also more because, firstly, we are talking about a Goddess.

I got my first film in Telugu, Fauzi, before Mahakali. I was shooting for that when I signed Mahakali. After watching Hanu...
