Andy Muschietti's The Flash was widely appreciated among Indian cinema lovers for a poster of Lord Hanuman Barry Allen's Room. In a multiple-frame scene, where Iris West (Kiersey Clemons) has a conversation with Barry Allen Lord Hanuman's poster is seen at least twice.

Here's why Lord Hanuman's poster was added to the movie.

As 'Flash' is a superhero in the DC comics who uses his speed in fighting crime and criminals. Lord Hanuman also known as Vayuputra, is the spiritual son of the wind God Vayu and is extraordinarily strong and is often depicted flying carrying the Dronagiri mountain on his palm.

This isn't the first time, a Hollywood film has used Hanumanji's reference, earlier in 2018, Marvel's Chadwick Boseman starred Black Panther and had several references to Lord Hanuman as well. Lord Hanuman was shown as the divine strength of the Jabari tribe. It was said that when Jabari's refused to submit themselves to the rule of Wakanda's first king Bashenga, and were banished to mountains, Lord Hanuman provided for them.

In the film Prince T'challa (played by Late Chadwick Boseman), M'Baku wore a gorilla mask and praised Lord Hanuman in the famous 'Glory to Hanuman' dialogue.

Images of Lord Hanuman were portrayed all along the Jabari territory.

As per reports in The Pamphlet, "None of these scenes were shown in India as the censor board removed these references saying that it would hurt religious sentiments in the country."
