As part of the film’s promotion, the team announced that each theatre would dedicate one seat to Lord Hanuman in order to respect the people’s beliefs.
Lord Hanuman to watch Adipurush?
Prabhas and Kriti Sanon’s most anticipated film ‘Adipurush’ is hardly one week away from release. Om Raut, the director, has been working on the film for several years now. Raut became emotional and teary-eyed during the film’s pre-release event, pleading with producers and distributors to dedicate one seat in every theatre to Lord Hanuman.
Speaking at the Adipurush event, Om Raut said, “My mother says that wherever Ramayan is being played, Hanuman will be present there. I am requesting Bhushan sir, Anil sir, and all the producers to leave one seat vacant for Lord Hanuman. Everywhere in the world where Adipursh is being screened, I request to keep one seat. He [Hanuman] will come. Please sir.”
Prabhas consoled him by giving him a side hug as Raut cried. The mythological film, based on the Ramayana, will be released in theatres on June 16.

Confirming the news, the team also said, ‘Till there is Shri Ram’s name in this world, Lord Hanuman will be here to protect his Bhakts and to save Dharam’. To respect and honor Shri Ram’s greatest Bhakt and devotee Lord Hanuman, we have decided to do something. They will be leaving one seat in every theatre ‘reserved’ for Hanumanji.
About Adipurush
Adipurush is a mythological film based on the Ramayana, an Indian epic. Om Raut wrote and directed the film. Sunny Singh and Devdatta Nage will play supporting roles alongside Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan.
The film, which was made on a massive budget of Rs 500 crore, has encountered numerous setbacks since its inception. Adipurush has seen it all, from Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Ravana is humane’ remark to backlash for poor VFX. The film is now set for a worldwide theatrical release in multiple languages.
