Adipurush, the film starring Prabhas, has now officially opened in theatres after numerous delays and controversies. Early concerts at 4 am in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh were completely sold out! Lord Ram is played by Prabhas in the movie. Om Raut, the film’s director, had earlier pleaded with the makers and sellers to reserve one seat in each theatre for Lord Hanuman in honour of Adipurush. True to that, images and videos are now appearing online that demonstrate that Lord Hanuman has actually been assigned a specific seat in theatres. Flowers have also been placed on the seat.
AT ADIPURUSH SCREENINGS, LORD HANUMAN-HONORED SEATS
Adipurush has a good possibility of breaking a lot of box office records. On June 16, the movie debuted in theatres to a lot of anticipation. Adipurush has held a special place in the heart of director Om Raut since the beginning. He experienced intense emotion and was brought to tears during the June 9 trailer launch for the movie in Tirupati.
Om Raut addressed the crowd and encouraged the creators and distributors to reserve one seat in each theatre for Lord Hanuman for Adipurush. He declared, “Wherever the Ramayana is spoken, Lord Hanuman comes. We firmly believe it. Adipurush, the Rama-starrer starring Prabhas, will have one seat reserved in each theatre that will not be sold for Lord Hanuman in observance of this concept. Hear the tale of how the greatest Rama follower was honoured. We began this fantastic project in an unorthodox manner. We must all witness the Adipurush being constructed in the sight of Lord Hanuman with enormous grandeur and majesty.

Recently, images of seats honouring Lord Hanuman have appeared online. He has at least one seat set out for him. A theatre owner selected a seat in one of the rows of the screen in a picture from Baroda. In other pictures, seats are decorated with flowers as a sign of reverence for Lord Hanuman. Even garlands and saffron scarves were added by some.
In a video from Mumbai, students of a school are seen catching the morning show of Adipurush. A woman can be seen placing Lord Hanuman’s idol on a seat in the first row.
