> Sanjay Dutt praised 21-year-old Anupriya Nagar on Instagram for her part in the success of the devotional drama Hanuman Ansh, and promised to back her future projects.

Sanjay Dutt has saluted Anupriya Nagar, the 21-year-old producer behind Hanuman Ansh, calling her work on the devotional hit "truly remarkable" in an Instagram post.

The actor shared a photo with her and credited her passion for turning a small film into a big one. He also praised the way she brought people together. "God bless you, bachcha," he wrote, adding that he would stand by her in all her projects and that her story "has only just begun."

Nagar answered in the comments. She said his words meant a great deal coming from someone with his cinematic legacy, and thanked him for his blessings and belief in her.

She joined the project late. Speaking to the media earlier, Nagar said she came on board after filming had wrapped, when the makers needed money for post-production. The suggestion to invest came from Maharaj Ji, who pointed to her years of part-time work in the UK. She also corrected a popular assumption that she paid for the whole film. Her share, she said, was one third of the total investment, and she called herself the youngest of three women from three generations who backed it.

Vishal Chaturvedi wrote and directed Hanuman Ansh, adapting his own book, Divine Detour: That Changed My Life. The film traces the life of Neem Karoli Baba, with Shobhinaw Satyaa in the lead. Its India gross now stands close to Rs 395 crore.
