Read from 11 th para
THE Sivaji success story moved to South Africa last
weekend when the film opened in Durban, Johannesburg
and Cape Town. While the response in Cape Town was
disappointing, the Johannesburg and Durban venues
ensured that it became the first Tamil film to
feature in the South African box-office top 10. More
impressive was that the cost-per-print for Sivaji
placed it firmly at number one for the opening
weekend.
A notable feature, particularly in Durban, is that
the film is being seen by people from different
linguistic groups and even differ- ent racial
backgrounds. This is understandable since the story
is relevant to what is happening in this country and
contains a lesson for all South Africans.
Rajnikanth's next film will be announced only after
he re- turns from a vacation in the US .
Initial hindrance to Sivaji in South Africa
Initially there were small hindrances to screen
Sivaji in South Africa and finally a travel agent
called Dinesh Naidoo won the race of screening.
