Hanuman Ansh’s Rs 2 Crore To Rs 200 Crore Journey: Actors, Crew To Get A Share Of The Earnings?
Hanuman Ansh producers Ragini Sona and Anupriya Nagar discuss bonuses for actors and crew after the small-budget film becomes a blockbuster.
A film that was made on a reported budget of just Rs 2 crore has gone on to earn over Rs 200 crore in India. Hanuman Ansh, which opened to a modest response, has now become a blockbuster.

Now that the film has made so much money, are they getting a share of the success? Are the producers considering bonuses or additional compensation for the team?
