Saw posters in Toronto about GURU World Premiere in Toronto ?? Abhishek and Aish will be there ??.
I don't know any further details as to if what other film crew will attend or where the premiere will be held and when ?? Film releases Jan 12.

Can someone pl confirm and provide further details ??
Also, what's the possibility of buying tickets and what's the attendance like in such Toronto premieres ??

why the heck, mani ratnam takes his southish film to Toronto

Star studded World Premiere of Mani Ratnam's much anticipated Guru will premiere in Toronto, Canada on January 11th 2007 at the prestigious Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre, where most of Hollywood films are premiered. "It will be like a regular Hollywood Red Carpet Premiere. No Indian film has been screened here yet and take it from me it is very expensive", said Padamm Kumar, COO- India of Roger Nair Productions. Roger Nair Productions has acquired the Canadian rights of writer/director Mani Ratnam's Guru from Kaleidoscope Entertainment.

This has been path breaking and a landmark deal between Canada and India, in the process making Canada an official territory for Bollywood films. "Traditionally the North American territory included USA, Canada and the Carribean. We are trying to make Canada a separate terrority by itself", said Kumar.

Most of the cast will be attending the premiere including Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, R Madhavan, AR Rahman and Mani Ratnam.

When Bollywood's hottest couple, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, stepped out of their limo on Yonge St. and onto the red carpet in front of the Elgin Theatre last night, the fans sent up a roar so loud it could almost have been heard in India.

In fact, it probably was – given the crush of TV media who flew in from India to record the event, the first world premiere of a Bollywood film in Toronto.

"We love you!" screamed the crowd, estimated by police at about 1,000 – many of whom had staked out spots for hours across from the theatre.

The 6-foot-tall Bachchan, dressed in a black Nehru jacket, declared the premiere of Guru "a very proud moment for the Indian film industry."

Rai, in a champagne-coloured silk pajama kurta, appeared overwhelmed. "I can't thank them enough for their love, good wishes and support," she said of the fans.

Others on the red carpet included the film's director, Mani Ratnam, composer A. R. Rahman and Mayor David Miller.

"Why Toronto?" Miller responded to questions from reporters.

"We've got a huge South Asian population, we're an international city, so where else would you have a Bollywood premiere outside of India?"

Asked to name his favourite Bollywood flick, Miller replied, "I'll tell you after the film. I don't want to offend any of the stars."

It was clearly Bachchan and Rai the fans were standing in the cold to see.

"They're huge," Indian television correspondent Abhishek Srivastava said. "In India, they have the star power of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

"Anywhere they appear in public, it's news."

Some fans were miffed about the hefty ticket prices – ranging from $100 to $500 – for the premiere, which did not sell out.

"If I got to sit next to Aishwarya, I'd pay $100. Tomorrow it's showing for $10 at the cineplex, so I'll see it then, " said Naj Khan, 25, a Toronto business analyst who staked out a spot across the street, along with a gang of friends to catch a glimpse of Rai.

Other fans didn't mind shelling out $100 for a chance to be a part of Toronto and Bollywood history.

"It's the first time a Bollywood premiere has happened in Toronto, so we wanted to be part of the excitement," said Rosham Punja, 35, a Toronto nurse. "It's so amazing to be able to experience this and showcase the culture and Toronto across the world."

"We love it. We feel like we're in Bombay ... with all of this hungama (hullabaloo)," said Khushwinder Verma, 33, a Toronto systems analyst.

Some joked about the star couple's compatibility. "She's a gorgeous, excellent actor and I think they make a great couple," said Shahid Abdool, 34, a buyer from Maple.

"No, no, I think Abhishek deserves much better," interjected a laughing Mumtaz Musaji, 30, another nurse. "She (Rai) is pretty but she's overrrated."

The big-budget Guru is inspired by the rags-to-riches story of Dhirubhai Ambani, one of India's leading industrialists.
