Chennai: It was an occasion to celebrate for
Tamil superstar Rajnikanth's die-hard fans who flocked cinema
halls here since early hours as the advance booking for the
AVM Production's mega budget movie Sivaji opened on Sunday.
Tickets for the first fortnight were sold out in several
theatres in just a couple of hours, film industry sources
said.
Sivaji special
Serpentine queues of youngsters, including girls, were
seen outside 17 theatres in the city, including Abirami,
Satyam and Udhayam complexes, where the film was set to be
released on June 15.
The queues led to traffic snarls at various places.
Some chose to spend the night in front of the theatres
in order to book their tickets early.
The 'Rajni-director Sankar-music director A R Rahman'
combination has created a lot of expectations among movie
buffs particularly among the superstar's fans.
Doe-eyed Shriya is the leading lady of the movie, which
took 19 months for completion.
Sources said the movie might turn out to be the most
expensive film ever made in the country.
Enthusiastic fans performed milk abhishekam (pouring
milk over as a form of worship) on Rajni banners and cut outs
and broke coconuts to ward off evil forces.
Rajni's previous film Chandramukhi is still running
continuously for 800 days, creating a record in the Tamil film
history.
