If yet-to-release ‘Kanthaswamy’ is reported to be releasing with 900 prints, Bollywood’s recent blockbuster ‘Kaminey’ opened up with 1200 prints across the globe.

Maybe, it would’ve been a disappointing weekend for Mumbaikars as ‘Kaminey’ didn’t open on many screens due to Swine Flu scare. On the contrary, ‘Kaminey’ witnessed a grand opening in Chennai box office with house-packed shows in all centers of release. To be precise, the ‘First Day First Show’ happened to be a coming together of kingpins of Kollywood together.

Ace Filmmaker Gowtham Menon occupied his seat in Satyam Cinemas prior to the crowd getting in. He was present along with his manager, who plays lead role in one of forthcoming untitled film with Sameera Reddy as heroine. Cinematographer Balasubramaniam was present with his close associates. Newlywed actor ‘Jeyam’ Ravi-Aarthi occupied the seats, five minutes after the film started.

‘Kaminey’ features Shahid Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra in lead roles and music director Vishal Bharadwaj has directed the film.
