Sivaji, one of the most talked about Tamil films starring Rajnikanth, will make its international release in 20 theatres across the US on June 15.

However, Rajni fans in Bangalore are in for a disappointment since the film releases in just four theatres across the city. The dubbed version of Rajnikanth's magnum opus along with director Shankar and music director A R Rahman will also be released simultaneously in Telugu.

Much needed vacation
After every film, Rajni heads to the Himalayas for some rest. And this time too, after the two-year-long shooting of the film, he went to visit the temples in Badrinath, Kedarnath and the Babuji Cave. After a hiatus of 38 days, he is finally back in Chennai. Soon after reaching Chennai, he headed to AVM studios and requested a screening of the film. Immediately a screening was arranged for Rajni, his wife Latha, daughters Aishwaryaa and Soundarya and son-in law Dhanush. He seems to have said just one word after the screening, "Fantastic." Meanwhile director Shankar too has left for Canada with his family for a vacation.

Under the hot sun
Eager fans are waiting in long queues in Chennai and Bangalore to pre-book the tickets. In Chennai the bookings are not available at most of the theatres for almost two weeks after the release.

Breaking records
Typically, even hit films with leading actors have about 130 to 140 prints. Rajnikanth's previous film Chandramukhi had more than 160 prints. However, Sivaji has already broken a few records having about 600 prints.

TV rights
The yet to be launched Kalaignar TV channel has already bought the satellite rights of Sivaji, which will be telecast three years after its release.
