An official statement from the makers of the movie reads:
“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 and grandeur in the presence of Lord Hanuman.”

Adipurush is an attempt of Indian cinema to bring the mythological tale of Ramayana to silver screens. It is made on a budget of 500 crores. And ever since the teaser of the film was released, it has been in the limelight. It received a massive backlash from the public for the poor quality of the VFx and Saif Ali Khan’s look as Lankesh. So, the makers immediately reworked it and upscaled the VFx. The updated version of the teaser looked more relatable.
Recently, the makers also announced that ‘Adipurush’ will be screened at Tribeca Festival in New York on June 13, as per ANI reports. You can watch the film June 16 onwards in a theater near you. The film will release across India in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
