ADIPURUSH ADVANCE BOOKING
Popular South trade expert Manobala Vijayaben, the free 1,50,000 free tickets of Adipurush have been sold for Rs 200 which makes the total stand at Rs 3 Crore. He tweeted: #Adipurush FREE ticket approx calculation. Even if we consider a bigger figure of 1,50,000 free tickets with an average ticket price Rs 200. It would just add ₹3 cr to the overall gross Box Office collection. Hence, ₹3cr is not a big deal for a film of ₹500 cr budget. This strategy is used mainly to promote the film and help the needy people to watch it. #Prabhas"
