PVR Inox Ceo on Adipurush's opening collections

Gautam Dutta recently shared a video, explaining the expected first-day business of Adipurush. He revealed that approximately 4 lakh tickets have already been booked at three famous multiplexes in India, for the weekend opening. In an interview with PTI, the PVR Inox CEO shared that Adipurush is heading for one of the biggest films, comparing its popularity to Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan.

Citing the reason why he believes Adipurush will have a "colossal opening" Gautam Dutta said, "The leading languages in this film would be Telugu and Hindi, followed by other languages, and Prabhas being a very popular star down south that coupled with the entire north belt should give the film a colossal opening."

Reason behind Adipurush's mass appeal

Analysing the market trends of the film, Gautam Dutta further added that combining the first three days of Adipurush's release, which is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the Om Raut directorial might easily breach Rs 200 crores at the ticket window. According to the CEO Adipurush was receiving a warm welcome from movie-goers similar to Pathaan because of its appealing subject, which has connected well with the majority of the masses. He believed that like Pathaan, Adipurush will draw in a large crowd of all age groups.
