EDISON, New Jersey - Sept
10th 2006:
This is a momentous occasion for Telugu Cinema: This is a testimony of sheer
MEGA power. This is a sign of things to come. Telugu cinema’s popularity
abroad is growing by the day. Rather, as the rapidly increasing Telugu
community takes to its second nature – movies, it is fun time for all
concerned. In the past 18 months, Telugu audiences have been patronizing
Telugu films with merit like never before, now comes the icing on the cake.
As
the countdown begins for the release of Megastar’s STALIN later this month,
preparations are in full swing to launch it worldwide in a true blockbuster
style.
In what is apparently a release of record proportions, STALIN will be
released abroad with 29 prints, the highest for any South Indian film
till date and a magnitude that only A category Hindi films enjoy.
In
USA, STALIN will be releasing with 18 prints in 30 locations in the first
week alone. The previous record was 11 prints for Jai Chiranjeeva also
distributed by KAD Entertainment. No other Telugu movie was released with
more than 8 prints in USA otherwise. In the Gulf region, STALIN will be
released with 6 prints while in Asia Pacific and Europe the number of prints
will be 3 and 2 respectively.
In
the USA, east coast will be blanketed with simultaneous first week
screenings in (from north to south): Boston, New Haven - CT, East Windsor –
CT, New York, New Jersey (with 2 prints in 4 screens), Delaware, Virginia, Cary - NC, Atlanta.
Besides STALIN will premier for the first time in many other centers like
Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Memphis, Bloomington, Kansas City, St. Louis and in
Toronto-Canada as well, where Telugu movies are usually released 5 to 6
weeks after their first theatrical release.
Screening will be done in such a widespread way that most of the film goers
will find a screening of the film within a max distance of 2 hour drive from
their location in the first two weeks itself.
Starting from 14th September, KAD entertainment will start
advance booking of tickets online through secondshows.com, now with a
brand new look.
Since the day shooting began, STALIN has been generating tremendous amount
of anticipation everywhere in India and Abroad. After three years, the
Megastar returns to a genre that does full justice to his stature and what
his millions of fans expect from him.
Heart throb Trisha pairs with the Megastar for the first time while the
Directorial whiz kid Murugadoss, fresh from the scintillating success of
GHAJINI, directs.
Watch this space for an exciting season ahead.
