Adipurush: Budget 

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Bhushan Kumar, producer of Adipurush said that the film is made on a budget of Rs. 500 crore, excluding the budget allotted for print and promotion. The producer also confirmed that they will optimise the demand for the film by going ahead with blockbuster pricing as the opening will be "giant with housefull board across." Reportedly, an additional budget of Rs. 100 crore was increased owing to the correction of the film's 'offensive' VFX and visual effects. If reports are to be believed, the total budget of the film is over Rs.600 crores.
