Telugu cinema is stepping into grand mythological storytelling with director Chandoo Mondeti’s ambitious 3D animated film Vayuputra. Produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments, the film promises to be a visual spectacle that brings Lord Hanuman’s legendary story to life like never before. Fans are calling it a project that could change the future of Indian animation. This ambitious attempt is already creating buzz across pan-India audiences.
What is Vayuputra Movie About?
As the name suggests, Vayuputra refers to Lord Hanuman, the son of the wind god Vayu. Known as a loyal devotee of Lord Rama in the Ramayana, Hanuman has long been revered for his strength, devotion, and divine powers. The film is expected to trace his origins and showcase key moments from the Ramayana in a grand 3D animated adaptation. It will likely highlight both the spiritual and heroic aspects of Hanuman’s journey.
Makers’ Vision: A Sacred Spectacle in 3D
Sithara Entertainments officially announced Vayuputra with a powerful note: “From the soul of our history, from the pages of our Itihasas, comes the story of an Immortal Legend!” The film will release in both 3D and 2D formats, targeting a festive Dussehra 2026 release.
To reach wider audiences, it will be released in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, making it a pan-India animation epic. This large-scale release strategy proves the team’s commitment to taking Indian stories global.
Chandoo Mondeti’s Journey From Thandel to Vayuputra
Before Vayuputra, director Chandoo Mondeti helmed Thandel, starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi. The romantic action-drama was based on a true 2018 incident where a fisherman from Srikakulam was captured by Pakistani forces after drifting into their waters. The film earned praise for its intense storytelling and performances, proving Mondeti’s versatility as a filmmaker. With Vayuputra, he is now venturing into mythological territory with an even bigger vision. His shift from real-life drama to mythological fantasy shows his storytelling range.
Release Date and What Fans Can Expect
The film is set for a Dussehra 2026 theatrical release, and anticipation is already sky-high. While the makers haven’t revealed the voice cast yet, speculations are rife about some big names being part of the project. Fans can expect jaw-dropping VFX, rich storytelling, and a blend of devotion and entertainment, positioning Vayuputra as a first-of-its-kind mythological 3D animation film from Telugu cinema. This could be a defining moment for India’s animation industry on the global stage.
