Meanwhile, advance booking started in the city and in major multiplexes the opening weekend tickets are already sold out.
"Tickets for all shows on Friday and Saturday are already sold out. Few shows are available for Sunday, but it's also fast filling. It's a Rajinikanth film and tickets are bound to get sold like pancakes. We have allocated our major screens for the film and if the initial buzz is positive, then we will increase screen count," a representative of SPI Cinemas told IANS.
In Abirami multiplex, nearly 13,000 tickets have already been sold.
"We have sold nearly 13,000 tickets so far across all our screens. Since a Rajinikanth film is releasing after so many years, the response has been phenomenal. We sold a few thousand tickets in the first hour since our booking opened last night," multiplex's representative said.
