Adipurush team to keep one seat empty in every theatre for Lord Hanuman

“Lord Hanuman appears wherever the Ramayana is recited. It is our belief. Respecting this belief, every theatre screening Prabhas' Rama-starrer Adipurush will reserve one seat for Lord Hanuman without selling it. Hear the history of paying respects to the greatest devotee of Rama. We started this great work in an unknown way. We all must see the Adipurusha built with great grandeur in the presence of Lord Hanuman,” the statement read.

In the film Prabhas essays the role of Lord Ram and popular Marathi actor Devdatta Nage appears in the role of Lord Hanuman.

The mythological drama based on the epic Ramayana is shot in Hindi and Telugu languages, and it is up for a Pan-India release in other languages as well, including Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.

The film is made with a massive budget of over Rs 500 crore and it is expected to be a grand visual feast for the audiences.

The film stars Kriti Sanon as Sita, Sunny Singh as Lakshman and Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist Ravana.

The film has previously faced numerous obstacles since the release of its teaser in 2022. It faced a major backlash over its poor visual effects, which forced the makers to overhaul the entire VFX work and delay the release.
