On the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti today, the motion poster of the animation film, ‘Hanuman Da Damdaar‘, has been released. Interestingly, Salman Khan has lent his voice to the grown-up Hanuman in the film, which has been written and directed by Ruchi Narain.

Scheduled to release on May 19, the film narrates the story more on Hanuman’s younger version. It begins at a point much before he meets Lord Ram — a time when he was oblivious of his strength, mettle, and purpose in life. Ruchi says, “It was while working out the release calendar that we realised that our first look launch was coinciding with Hanuman Jayanti. With this kind of blessing, we’re sure this summer will be truly damdaar.”

Salman shared the motion poster on his twitter handle and wrote – “Yeh Summer hoga bada Damdaar, Dekho motion poster of #HanumanDaDamdaar Aaj HanumanJayanti ke din. @hanuman_damdaar”
