Whose suggestion is it to get a huge celebrity like Chiranjeevi giving voice over to Hanuman?

He made the entire auditorium spellbound. Everybody respects him because he went ahead and made the project Hanuman. Hanuman is the only true Indian success in animation field. He said that if the content is right nobody bothers if a film is normal, 2-D or 3-D. After seeing the clippings in the conference, I went to theater and watched Hanuman.
