While these numbers are impressive, they only form a fragment of the film’s revenue. Taran Adarsh stated that the film is expected to draw massive numbers from non-national chains as well as mass venues. The analyst also stressed on the importance of the South Indian segment being key to the film’s success. 

Starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan, Adipurush will release on June 16. The film will depict the events of the Ramayana, with Prabhas playing the role of Lord Ram.

Earlier, on June 6, the Adipurush team had announced that upon release, one seat in every theatre would be kept for Lord Hanuman. The gesture is to celebrate the people's beliefs, the team said. 

"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,” the Adipurush team said in a released statement.
