The much-anticipated ‘Adipurush’ starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan released on Friday morning. The film is written and directed by Om Raut and even before hitting the theatres, the film – which is based on the epic Ramayana – has been in the news, be it for controversies or news about the unfortunate leaking of the movie online. But as the film opened in theatres, fans gathered in large numbers to watch the movie. While several videos from the film screenings were shared online, one that went viral showed a monkey at a film premiere of Adipurush. 

In the video, a monkey can be seen at a film screening while the audience can be seen shouting ‘Jai Shree Ram’. Many netizens said that it seems like Hanuman Ji has himself come to bless the film.  Earlier, in a statement, the movie makers said that lord Hanuman appears wherever the Ramayana is recited, and respecting this belief, every theatre screening the film was requested to reserve one seat for Lord Hanuman without selling it.
