A seat as been set aside in the honour of Lord Hanuman in every theatre playing Adipurush.
First photo of a seat reserved for Lord Hanuman in a theatre that is going to screen Adipurush has surfaced online.
With just a few hours left for Adipurush’s release, the first photo of the seat dedicated to Lord Hanuman has surfaced online. In a photo coming in from Baroda, a theatre owner has picked out a seat in one of the rows of the screen that will be playing Adipurush and decked it up in the honour of Lord Hanuman. It was previously revealed that theatre owners will be setting aside one seat for Lord Hanuman as a mark of respect in every screen playing Prabhas and Kriti Sanon’s Adipurush.
In the photo from the theatre in Baroda, a framed photo of Lord Hanuman featuring Lord Ram and Sita was seen placed on the seat while a garland was placed on it. A few petals of flowers covered the seat while a saffron shawl was placed over it. The photo has already hit the internet and is now going viral.
Theatre owners decided to reserve a seat for Hanuman upon Adipurush director Om Raut’s request. During a trailer event for the film in Tirupati, Raut requested film’s producers to reserve an empty seat in every theater where the film is screened as a gesture of honour to Lord Hanuman. “This act symbolizes the reverence and acknowledgment of Lord Hanuman’s spiritual presence during the showcasing of the film ‘Adipurush,” he said.
Following the request and the announcement that a seat would be set aide in the Lord’s honour, there were reports suggesting that the cost of the reserved seat would be higher than regular seats. However, the movie’s production company, T-Series, took to Twitter on Monday to refute these claims.
“There are misleading reports circulating in the media regarding #Adipurush ticket pricing. We want to clarify that there will be no differences in rates for seats next to the one reserved for Hanuman Ji! Don’t fall for false information! Jai Shri Ram! 🙏🏹,” they tweeted.
Adipurush releases on June 16. Besides Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, the film also stars Sunny Singh, Devdatta Nage, and Saif Ali Khan.
