Nitesh Tiwari's two-part epic Ramayana released in theatres worldwide on November 5. And with it also leaked a mid-credit scene featuring Sunny Deol's entry as Lord Hanuman, which gained considerable buzz and virality online.
Post the leak, the film's makers unveiled the Shree Hanuman Chalisa track, which forms the backbone of Deol's entry. Led by the voice of Diljit Dosanjh, the song also features Mohit Chauhan, Shankar Mahadevan, Sukhwinder Singh and Kailash Kher.

The video asset also features a couple of stills of Lord Hanuman mid air, and ends with a voiceover saying "Jai Shri Ram" right as he leaps off a cliff.
Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, the three hours and fifteen minute film centers on the conflict between Lord Ram and Ravana while showcasing the expansive mythological world recreated for the big screen.
