Director Om Raut Happy With Prabhas-Fronted 'Adipurush' Box Office Performance

Mumbai, August 29 - Director Om Raut has finally opened up on Adipurush, starring Pan India superstar Prabhas. It was one of the most-hyped Indian movies in recent times but ended up as a major disappointment on every front.## The movie got trolled for the cringe characterization of the figures of the epic Ramayana and was largely a box office misfire despite the huge initial collections that were pulled through the factor of Ramayana and Prabhas' mega-stardom.## Made on a massive budget of 500 crores, Adipurush grossed around 400 crores at the worldwide box office and was termed a big flop, especially in the Telugu version. However, unlike the public opinion on the film's box office numbers, Om Raut seems to be happy with its performance. ## During a recent interview with a Marathi media, Om Raut called out the trollers and said that they don't need to bother too much about this faceless army on social media. He went on to say, "At the end of the day, what matters for the movie is the box office. And, Adipurush did very well at the box office". The filmmaker also said that superstars like Prabhas and Salman Khan as 'flop-proof' stars who can pull off any film. ## Adipurush is based on the epic Ramayana where Prabhas played the role of Lord Rama alongside Kriti Sanon as Sita and Saif Ali Khan as Raavan. It received largely negative reviews from critics while audience reception was also disappointing.## Stay tuned...
