The First Seat Reserved For Lord Hanuman In Adipurush Theatre

With just few hours left for the world to witness Adipurush, the first photo of the seat dedicated to Lord Hanuman has surfaced online. A theatre owner in Baroda 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. 

Makers recently announced 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 and decorated it with petals and saffron shawl.

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.

Following the request and the announcement that a seat would be set aside 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 clarifying that there will be no differences in rates for seats next to the one reserved for Lord Hanuman.
