Prasant Varma Cinematic Universe 

Prasanth Varma is establishing his own cinematic universe, the Prasant Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU), which will kick off with his film HanuMan. After HanuMan, Varma plans to release a sequel titled Jai Hanuman in 2025. But before that sequel, producer DVV Danayya's son Kalyan Dasari will make his debut with Adhira, another superhero film in the PVCU that has already been announced. 

The first glimpse of Adhira shows a character gaining thunder and lightning powers from a totem. HanuMan and Adhira will lay the foundation for Varma's ambitious cinematic universe of superhero films.
