Prabhas grooves to Adipurush song Jai Shri Ram with Om Raut, pulls Kriti Sanon to join

Adipurush’s pre-release event took place at Sri Venkateswara University Stadium in Tirupati on Tuesday (June 6). The film’s star cast and crew including director Om Raut, Prabhas and Kriti Sanon marked their presence at the event. Music composers Ajay and Atul took to stage with a live band to perform Jai Shri Ram song from the movie. 

In a viral video, Prabhas and Om can be seen dressed in white as they cheered for the performance while standing up from their seats. The actor also encouraged Kriti to join them and groove to the music. The group was chanting Jai Shri Ram in harmony. See the full video here: 

Indian epic, the Ramayana, served as the inspiration for Adipurush's plot, which is set in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya. Nevertheless, Tirupati was selected as the site of the major event since it was considered easy for people to get there. Lord Sri Venkateswara, a manifestation of Lord Vishnu, is also revered at Tirupati.
