  "summary": "Singer Sunil Lodhi has revealed that the popular bhajan Maine Tere Hi Bharose from the film Hanuman Ansh is actually an old traditional Bundeli folk song previously sung by Chandrabhushan Pathak and Deshraj Pateria.",
  "content": "The question buzzing around the bhajan Maine Tere Hi Bharose from the film Hanuman Ansh has finally been answered by the singer himself. In a conversation with Sudhir Chaudhary on the show Decode, Sunil Lodhi revealed that the song is not his own original composition but part of a decades old Bundeli tradition, one that had already been sung by two well known folk singers long before it found its way into the film.\n\nHanuman Ansh has been drawing large audiences, and its devotional songs have become just as talked about as the film itself, with Maine Tere Hi Bharose leading that wave. Sunil Lodhi's rendition has spread widely across theatres and social media, yet very few viewers knew just how old, and how rooted in folk practice, this particular bhajan really is.\n\nA song rooted deep in Bundeli folk singing tradition\nSunil Lodhi made it clear during the conversation that Maine Tere Hi Bharose is not a freshly written film bhajan. It is a very old traditional Bundeli song that has been part of folk singing gatherings and devotional evenings for a long time. In other words, the song that has now gained fresh recognition and a much wider audience through Hanuman Ansh was already woven into the folk culture and bhajan tradition of the Bundelkhand region.\n\nThe two singers who performed it before Sunil Lodhi\nDuring the interview, Sunil Lodhi specifically named two singers. The first was Bundeli folk singer Chandrabhushan Pathak, who had also lent his voice to this bhajan in the past. The second was Deshraj Pateria, a familiar and respected name in Bundeli folk songs and traditional singing. According to Sunil Lodhi, Pateria's voice had also given Maine Tere Hi Bharose recognition in his own era. This revelation makes it clear that the version now heard in Hanuman Ansh has effectively become a link between old Bundeli tradition and today's generation of cinema.\n\nSunil Lodhi grew emotional while speaking about it, thanking the filmmakers for giving him the opportunity to sing it. He described it as the grace and blessing of Hanuman ji that this old bhajan became part of Hanuman Ansh and went on to become so popular.\n\nProducer Anupriya Nagar's story of taking a big risk\nThe same conversation also featured the film's producer, Anupriya Nagar. The young Gen Z producer shared her own experience, revealing that at just 21 years of age she took a major risk in making a film inspired by Neem Karoli Baba. She said the film should have been made much earlier, since today's youth are embracing it wholeheartedly. Anupriya also pointed out that very few people actually know about Neem Karoli Baba and his greatness, which was part of what drove her to make a film on the subject.\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n1. Who sings the Maine Tere Hi Bharose bhajan in Hanuman Ansh?\nThe bhajan is sung by Sunil Lodhi in the film.\n\n2. Was Maine Tere Hi Bharose written specially for the film?\nNo, according to Sunil Lodhi it is a decades old traditional Bundeli bhajan.\n\n3. Who sang this bhajan before Sunil Lodhi?\nIt was earlier sung by Bundeli folk singers Chandrabhushan Pathak and Deshraj Pateria.\n\n4. Where did Sunil Lodhi reveal this information?\nHe revealed it during a conversation with Sudhir Chaudhary on the show Decode.\n\n5. Who produced the film Hanuman Ansh?\nThe film is produced by Anupriya Nagar, who made it at just 21 years of age.\n\n6. Who is the film Hanuman Ansh inspired by?\nIt is inspired by Neem Karoli Baba.\n\nInspiration & Lessons\nProducer Anupriya Nagar's journey shows that conviction and timing can matter more than age or experience.\n\n• A bold decision at a young age: At just 21, Anupriya took on the risk of making a film on a spiritual subject, something usually left to seasoned producers.\n• Betting on an overlooked subject: She recognised that very few people knew about Neem Karoli Baba's greatness, and turned that gap into the very reason for making the film.\n• Bringing old heritage to a new stage: By weaving a traditional Bundeli folk bhajan into the film, the team showed how old cultural heritage can still reach and move a young audience today.",
