A cinematic tribute inspired by the life, miracles, and spiritual awakening of Shri Neeb Karori Baba (popularly known as Neem Karori Baba) is set to hit theatres on July 31, 2026. Titled Hanuman Ansh, the film aims to present a deeply devotional and emotionally resonant perspective on Indian sainthood and Hanuman Bhakti on the big screen.The official 2-minute and 29-second trailer, unveiled on the Times Music YouTube channel following a simultaneous global trailer launch across temples and spiritual centres, offers a captivating preview of Baba's extraordinary transformation from a householder into one of the world's most revered spiritual guides.The Trailer Breakdown: From 'Ghost' Whispers to the Historic Train IncidentThe trailer opens in 1930s North India with an intriguing narrative hook. A panicked local frantically knocks on the door of a Station House Officer (SHO) early in the morning, claiming he has seen a ghost. When the SHO mockingly asks if he is under the influence of cannabis, the man insists, in fear that the entity is not an ordinary human.The scene transitions to showcase actor Shobhinaw Satyaa, who portrays the titular role of Neem Karori Baba. The trailer captures key historical and spiritual milestones from his life, including:The Famous Neem Karori Train Incident: The legendary moment where Baba is forcibly asked to disembark from a train, casually replying, "Okay son. We are flowing water, we will flow anywhere," before the locomotive mysteriously refuses to move until he is respectfully invited back onboard.Renunciation of Worldly Ties: His transition from a young seeker named Lakshmi Narayan to relinquishing personal comforts, stepping away from domestic attachments, and embarking on a path of relentless Ram Naam and selfless service (Seva).The Path to Samadhi: His miraculous deeds, deep meditation, and the eventual journey toward attaining Samadhi as millions of devotees join his spiritual fold.A Devotional Legacy That Inspired Global Tech Titans and IconsNeem Karori Baba never claimed divine status for himself, persistently identifying as a humble, dedicated devotee of Lord Hanuman. Nevertheless, his followers revered him as an incarnation or part (Ansh) of Lord Hanuman due to his boundless compassion and miraculous presence.The trailer emphasises how his teachings and the quiet sanctuary of the Kainchi Dham ashram went on to inspire millions worldwide—including global tech visionaries and cultural icons such as Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Julia Roberts, Virat Kohli, and Anushka Sharma through reported spiritual visits and personal connections.Ensemble Cast and Releasing DetailsDirected and written by Vishal Chaturvedi, Hanuman Ansh is produced under the Swambhu Media Network banner by Ragini S., Namrata G.
