The 2024 Telugu action-adventure film Hanu-Man has been awarded the title of Best Film in AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics) at the 2025 National Film Awards. Directed by Prasanth Varma and produced by K. Niranjan Reddy under Primeshow Entertainment, this film is the first installment in Varma’s planned cinematic universe.

The award was presented to the film’s animator and VFX supervisor Venkat Kumar Jetty, along with Varma and Reddy, in recognition of their exceptional contributions to visual storytelling.

Hanu-Man follows the story of Hanumanthu, who gains divine powers associated with the Indian god Hanuman after discovering a mystical gem. As he takes on the role of protector, he confronts Michael, a man driven by ambition who seeks the same gem to become a superhero.

The National Film Awards are among the most prestigious honors in Indian cinema, celebrating achievements in both artistic and technical fields. Established in 1954, the awards were managed by the Directorate of Film Festivals from 1973 to 2020, alongside events like the International Film Festival of India and the Indian Panorama. Since 2021, the awards have been overseen by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC).
