Om Raut’s film Adipurush, featuring Prabhas, faced a significant backlash upon its release in theaters. The dissatisfaction of Prabhas fans led to an act of violence in Hyderabad, resulting in the destruction of a theater. The incident involved delays in the showtime and garnered attention from authorities.
Delay and Backlash
The much-awaited film Adipurush, directed by Om Raut, was released in theaters to immense fanfare. However, it received a massive backlash from the audience, and some of Prabhas’ fans resorted to violence. The cause of the unrest was the postponement of the movie’s showing due to a technical problem.
Violent Incident
In a viral video, moviegoers can be seen vandalizing the theater and tearing down posters. They expressed their anger by breaking windows, pulling down banners, and attempting to climb door frames. The incident was allegedly triggered by the delayed screening, according to the Hyderabad Police.
Arrest and Fine
Following the incident, the Hyderabad police apprehended five individuals involved in the vandalism. The culprits were fined Rs 50,000 each. The RC Puram police, under the Cyberabad Commissionerate, initiated an investigation based on a complaint filed by the theater management.
Additional Violence
Another instance of violence occurred outside Prasad’s IMAX theater in Hyderabad. A young boy was attacked by Prabhas’ fans after he critically assessed the movie and the actor’s performance. Both incidents have faced severe criticism online.
Film Distribution and Expectations
Adipurush opened on 6,500 screens across India, making it one of the most widely distributed Indian films to date. Despite mixed reviews, the epic adaptation of Ramayana is expected to set several box office records.
The release of Adipurush has been marred by violence and backlash from Prabhas’ fans. The destruction of a theater in Hyderabad and the attack on a young boy highlight the extreme reactions some individuals have displayed.
