Superstar Rajinikanth's fans are so excited for his new movie Kabali that his movie tickets were sold out in just two hours in Chennai.
The 65-year-old actor's massively anticipated new film opens worldwide in Tamil and dubbed in Hindi, Telugu and Malayalam this Friday. Advance booking for the film has opened in some parts of Karnataka and Kerala and tickets are reportedly selling at inflated prices.
Gangster film Kabali stars Rajinikanth as a mob boss operating out of Malaysia, where the film has been partly shot. Directed by Pa Ranjith, it co-stars Radhika Apte and Taiwanese actor Winston Chao.
International Business Times reports that certain theatres have unofficially opened bookings for the film and that tickets are priced between Rs 500 and 600.
The Tamil and Telugu versions of Kabali will also play in 400 cinemas in USA. Bookings opened last week and were sold out for some shows.
"We opened bookings on Tuesday and in less than two hours tickets were sold out at Towne 3 cinemas, San Jose. The tickets for premieres are priced at $25, and there's huge demand for tickets," distributors CineGalaxy told news agency IANS.
In the UAE, Kabali releases on July 21 and is playing at Vox cinemas.
Last week, Malaysian carrier Air Asia primed a special aircraft for Rajinikanth's upcoming film Kabali. The plane's exterior has been decorated keeping in mind the Kabali theme, with mammoth-sized images of Rajnikanth.
The flight will also connect other Indian cities like Kochi, New Delhi, Goa, and Pune.
