Man Attacked In Theatre For Occupying 'Hanuman Seat'; Others Offer Pooja & Take Selfies With It
While some fans are clicking selfies with Lord Hanuman's seat during the screening of Adipurush, others are offering Pooja in theatres.
Weeks before the release of Adipurush, the makers announced to keep one seat in every theatre, not for sale. They dedicated this seat for Lord Hanuman. Now, that the film has been released, the pictures of 'Lord Hanuman seat' are doing the rounds on social media.
While some fans are clicking selfies with it, others are offering Pooja in theatres.
Take a look!
#Adipurush begins ?

They could have Chosen the recliner seat for Hanuman Jee to make him watch the movie comfortably. But instead they chose the cheapest seat available in any theatre.
How can these people pretend to be Staunch Hindus ? Such a shame

A man was reportedly attacked for occupying Lord Hanuman's seat in the theatre.
If reports are to be believed, a person who was under the influence of alcohol unintentionally sat on the seat dedicated for Lord Hanuman. This enraged others in the theatres. To calm the situation down, the theatre staff stepped in. Watch the video below.

Why have they dedicated one seat for Lord Hanuman?
As per director Om Raut, "Lord Hanuman appears wherever the Ramayana is recited. It is our belief. Respecting this belief, every theatre screening Prabhas' Rama-starter 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."
People meanwhile have mixed reactions to this. Here's what they are saying.

"Giving Hanuman Ji the most uncomfortable seat in the theatre. Is this not insulting? Apology letter needed," a fan wrote.
"Front row corner seat for Lord Hanuman What if he gets neck pain?" said another one.
Been seeing videos of people performing pooja for Lord Hanuman's idol/photo at the seat reserved for him in screens showing Adipurush.

What will sanghis do when Hanuman doesn't stand up for the national anthem played before the film? Will they call him anti-national? https://t.co/LxIKGrCEbm
"Why is Lord Hanuman given ?10 Rupees front row Ticket Seat? Don't the Makers want to provide him with a Balcony Ticket? Simply getting exposed with PR failures. Lord Ram and Hanuman will punish #Adipurush to be flop."
Rama, Sita and Lakshmana are the main characters in Ramayana.. so why have only Hanuman in the theater?
¡ª Omahasiya Vahiyaya (@SaltyBeeee) June 15, 2023
Cuz hes single unlike the other main characters? HOW DARE YOU?!
Don't you think as a devout he'd love to watch the movie with these three? https://t.co/jlo0C6TdeQ
