According to film trade analysts, the Om Raut directorial, which is said to be made on a budget of Rs 500 crore, has done good business in terms of distribution rights.

‘Adipurush’s distribution rights alone have made a business of Rs 270 crore.

According to film tracker Ramesh Bala, the distribution rights of the movie for two Telugu-speaking states–Telangana and Andhra Pradesh–were sold for approximately Rs 150 core to People Media Factory.
