It was an occasion to celebrate for Tamil superstar Rajnikanth's die-hard fans who flocked cinema halls here since early hours as the advance booking for the AVM Production's mega budget movie Sivaji opened on Saturday.
Tickets for the first fortnight were sold out in several theatres in just a couple of hours, film industry sources said.
Serpentine queues of youngsters, including girls, were seen outside 17 theatres in the city, including Abhirami, Sathyam and Udhayam complexes, where the film was set to be released on June 15. Traffic snarls were reported at various places.
Some chose to spend the night in front of the theatres in order to book their tickets early.
The Rajni-Shankar-Rahman combination has created a lot of expectations among movie buffs particularly among the superstar's fans. Doe-eyed Shriya is the leading lady of the movie, which took 19 months for completion.
Sources said the movie might turn out to be the most expensive film ever made in the country.
Enthusiastic fans performed "milk abhishekam"(pouring milk over as a form of worship) on Rajni banners and cut outs and broke coconuts to ward off evil forces.
Rajni's previous film Chandramukhi is still running continuously for 800 days, creating a record in the Tamil film history.
