Now, it needs to be seen whether 'Adipurush' manages to break the record of Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham-starrer 'Pathaan' in terms of all-time highest advance booking numbers for a Hindi film.
'Pathaan' had sold 5.56 lakh tickets in advance bookings while 'WAR' starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff had sold 4.04 lakh tickets.
When one talks about Indian films, the record for highest all-time advance booking belongs to 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' as the SS Rajamouli-directorial had sold 6.50 lakh tickets.

Yash-starrer 'KGF 2' had also sold 5.05 lakh tickets.
The 'Adipurush' teaser came out last year, however, it did not meet expectations as netizens slammed the makers for questionable VFX effects.
‘Adipurush’ had earlier courted controversy, including boycott calls, when many objected to the depiction of Hindu deities and inferior quality of visual effects in the teaser of the film launched in October.
The magnum opus, slated to hit the theatres in IMAX and 3D, will release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
