The production has been touted as the most expensive Tamil film ever made and chances are Malaysian fans will find Rajnikanth's latest offering unmissable. Already in India the advance booking counters are set to open this Sunday to cater for the ticket frenzy. After its release was postponed a few times (at one point scheduled to coincide with the Tamil New Year), latest sources confirm that the worldwide simultaneous release is now June 15.
The film Sivaji The Boss showcases all the industry heavyweights Rajnikanth as the 53-year-old powerhouse actor is inescapable to Indian movie-goers, A.R. Rahman the undisputed soundtrack composer with over 100 million records sold worldwide, and director extraordinaire S. Shankar who has churned out eight consecutive blockbusters to critical acclaim. One of the hot debate topics surrounding the film involves speculation on the plot, as it had been kept under wraps by Indian production house, AVM Productions. There is no reliable source which can lay claim to confirming the synopsis of the film, despite numerous internet rumours purporting to do so. Although trailers for the blockbuster have been available on the internet for some time now, the distributors of the film in India have yet to make any press invitations. Even the official site of the film explicitly declines to reveal anything further regarding the plot. Sources have indicated to Cinema Online that the blockbuster is tentatively scheduled to be released at 51 cinemas nationwide. According to other sources, P. S. Saminathan, managing director of Pyramid Saimira Theatre India and its Malaysian representative, declined to reveal how much was paid for the movie's rights but said it was the "costliest Indian film ever" to be shown in Malaysia. He expected it to gross as much as a Hollywood movie in the local circuit. Pyramid Saimira Theatre Chain is a Chennai-based company which partially operates more than 42 screens in Malaysia. Sivaji The Boss opens in Malaysia on June 15. Devi --------------------------------- Now that's room service! Choose from over 150,000 hotels in 45,000 destinations on Yahoo!
