Writer-director Vishal Chaturvedi revealed his unusual approach to writing the film. He avoided digital devices and wrote by hand while developing the story around Neem Karoli Baba. Chaturvedi spent nearly 45 days on the opening scene before completing the rest of the story within just 15 to 20 days
Hanuman Ansh is continuing its strong run at the box office, crossing the Rs 150 crore mark. As the film reaches the milestone, writer-director Vishal Chaturvedi has opened up about the unusual way he worked on the story, which is based on the life and teachings of spiritual leader Neem Karoli Baba.
At a time when most film writing happens on laptops and other digital devices, Chaturvedi chose to go in the opposite direction. He deliberately removed technology from his writing space so that he could focus entirely on the story.
“I removed all digital devices from my room,” he revealed, explaining that he wrote the screenplay using pen and paper instead.
Chaturvedi had been certain for some time that he wanted to tell this particular story. He spent considerable time researching the subject, collecting references and working through the ideas before beginning the actual writing.
