In non-religious pop culture:-
While
Lord Hanuman is a quintessential character of any movie on Ramayan, Hanuman
centric movies have also been produced with Hanuman as the central character.
In 1976 the first biopic movie on Hanuman was released with legendary
wrestler Dara Singh playing the role of Hanuman. Several decades
later in 2005 an animated version of the movie Hanuman was released and was
extremely popular among children. Following this several series of movies
featuring the legendary God were produced though all of them were animated,
prominent ones being the Bal Hanuman series 2006–2012. Another movie Maruti
Mera dost (2009) was a contemporary adaptation of Hanuman in modern times.
The
2015 Bollywood movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan had Salman Khan playing the
role of Pavan who is an ardent Hanuman devotee and regularly invokes him for
his protection, courage and strength.
Hanuman
was mentioned in the 2018 Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Black
Panther, where he is shown to be the central deity of a complex Indo-African
religion followed by the Jabari tribe from the fictional African nation of
Wakanda. The "Hanuman" reference was removed in India.
