Adipurush advance booking: 50,000 tickets sold, expected to beat RRR's record

Prabhas’ cinematic retelling of the epic Ramayana titled Adipurush is one of the biggest releases of the year. The magnum opus has grabbed the headlines of late as its trailer and songs have been very well received by fans. The advance booking for Adipurush, which will hit the screens on June 16, began on Sunday. Now latest reports suggest that the advance tickets sale of Adipurush has received a good response from the audience.

Adipurush Advance Bookings

The craze for Prabhas’ magnum opus can be gauged by the fact that three national cinema chains - PVR, Cinepolis and INOX – have already sold approximately 35,000 tickets for the weekend. Overall, theatres across the country have sold around 50,000 tickets. Trade analysts are now betting big on Adipurush and the film is expected to be a blockbuster like KGF: Chapter 2 and RRR.

It is worth noting that Adipurush is also getting help from big stars who are coming out in support of the film. The likes of Ranbir Kapoor, Ananya Birla and producer Abhishek Agarwal have decided to buy 10,000 tickets each of the movies and distribute them among the underprivileged section of the society. Now, the question arises if the film will be able to beat Pathaan's advance booking records. The Shah Rukh Khan film sold more than 5 lakh tickets in the advance booking phase.

Adipurush Theatre Release: One Seat Reserved For Lord Hanuman

Interestingly, every cinema hall will have one seat reserved for Lord Hanuman during the screening of the film. At the final trailer launch event in Tirupati, Adipurush’s director Om Raut had requested the exhibitors of the film to keep one seat empty in every theatre as a mark of respect to Lord Hanuman. This move has increased the hype around the film.

The film’s production company, T-Series, has clarified that the seats next to the one reserved for Lord Hanuman will not be more expensive.

#FraudAlert _

Jai Shri Ram! __
