Prabhas and Kriti Sanon’s much-hyped film Adipurush is few days away from its release. The film is in the final leg of promotions and the makers have recently made a unique announcement honouring people’s beliefs. They announced that out of respect and devotion, they will be reserving one seat for Lord Hanuman in each theatre screening.
Their official statement 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.”
This decision is getting mixed reactions from the audience. While some have appreciated this gesture, others have brutally trolled the team labeling it a mere marketing gimmick.
Check out what people are writing on the Internet:
“All in for devotion, but ye thoda zyada nahi hogaya? Bhakti kam aur marketing gimmick zyada lag raha hai ye.”
“Marketing aisi karo ki 4 log Ghar waapsi kar len.”
“Marketing aisi Karo ki Logo ko lage devotion hai.”
“All these marketing techniques just to sell a terribly made movie.”
“Pehle Historical Scriptures se alag chlo, fir log galiyan denge fir boldo ye toh hm kuch aur bnare hain, fir end main uhni Historical Scriptures ka Religion Card play kro for marketing.”
“How many times will Hanuman see the same film?”
“I don’t think you’ll have to deliberately leave one seat empty. There will be loads of empty seats.”
“Hanuman ji yeh movie dekh kar offend ho jaaenge.”
“Pawan Putra apne Prabhu ram ke saath rehte hai koi fake cheaply made animated movie ke liye unkempt pass samaye nahi. ( trust me I saw the trailer in hall, itna Ganda cgi hai …it looks like an animation movie. And God tye ram Prabhu they made looks more like ravan… and Lanka to Sone ki thi na…. woh itni Gothic black kabse ho gayi).”
Adipurush is based on Hindu Mythology “Ramayana”. The film is directed by Om Raut and produced by T-Series. It features Prabhas as Lord Ram, Kriti Sanon as Sita and Saif Ali Khan as Ravana. The film will be released on June 16 in five languages: Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.
