EDISON, New
Jersey,
Dec 22nd 2005:
Megastar’s Jai Chiranjeeva has a caption NOTHING CAN STOP HIM. And it
couldn’t be truer. The Megastar ruled supreme in the first week end,
all across the overseas territories from
North Pacific to Middle East to Down Under,
creating unprecedented records. Crowds went bonkers on his sight on screens
in many centers in USA. About 250 impatient fans gate crashed into theatres
in Singapore raising concerns about law and order in one of the most orderly
countries – Singapore. Similar reports of incredible crowd adulation are
pouring in from other parts of the overseas territories. In the Gulf region,
where normally regional films reach the screens after a week due to the
procedures of censoring and Arabic sub-titling involved, Jai Chiranjeeva
distributors could manage to release on the 22nd December along
with the rest of the world. The happiness of the fans knew no bounds of
watching a simultaneous launch of their Megastar’s film in their towns.
A snap shot of the numbers in USA for the first four days.

It may be noted that due to the Christmas season, first week screenings are not over yet. Shows are scheduled till Wednesday 28th December. Due to the overwhelming turnout, Kad entertainment is screening in New Jersey in two locations in the second week - in Edison and in North Bergen. And all the major centers like San Jose, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit and New Jersey are going to continue screening Jai Chiranjeeva for the second straight week.
In
US, a total of 18,308 people have watched the film in the first week.
And the week is not over yet. No other Telugu film ever has crossed the
10,000 mark in its first week of screening in USA. Truly there is no
stopping the Megastar!!!
