Guru,
which is the most anticipated movie
of 2007, will have its premiere in
Toronto on January 11, as reported
by us earlier. With that, Guru becomes
the first ever Indian mainstream movie
to be premiered in Canada. Besides,
Guru is the only Indian film to be
distributed by a Canadian Distributor,
Roger Nair Productions.
News has it that the Mayor of Toronto city David
Miller has sent personal invitations to Abhishek
Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, and director Mani Ratnam
for the premiere.
Addressing to the newspersons, Miller said,
‘Canada is glad to host Guru’s world
premiere. It would be a memorable event for
the city to have director Mani Ratnam, Abhishek
Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rai, for the premiere.
This occasion will escalate the economic, and
personal relationship between the two countries,
he added.
This would be first step in the process of creating
Canada a familiar terrain for Bollywood films,
said Padam Kumar, COO, Roger Nair production.
He also stated that Roger Nair production has
chosen Maniratnam’s Guru as a platform
owing to Mani’s finesse in movie making
adhering to the international standards.
The ensemble star cast of Guru Abhishek Bachchan,
Aishwarya Rai, and director Mani Ratnam will
walk down the red carpet during the premiere
on January 11. The world premier of Guru is
expected to be attended by 10,000 people. After
the premiere, the film opens in theatres in
Canada such as Canadawide Cineplex, AMC and
Empire on January 12.
