As Adipurush finally hit the screens today, theatres across India were seen fulfiling filmmaker Om Raut's request to reserve one seat for Lord Hanuman. The director strongly believes that Lord Hanuman is present whenever the Hindu epic Ramayana is recited or showcased on the planet. During a trailer event for the film in Tirupati, Raut requested the film's producers to keep a seat vacant in every theatre, wherever the film is being played, in honour of Lord Hanuman.
As per reports, the makers of the film have reserved approximately 12,000 tickets for Lord Hanuman, with its proceeds being used for welfare.
Earlier, T-Series had also issued a warning on social media that there is no price difference in the tickets for seats next to the one kept for Lord Hanuman.
Adipurush releases today, June 16. Actor Devdatta Nage will essay the role of Hanuman, who plays a pivotal role in his battle against Lankesh to rescue the abducted Janaki.
