Guru, a highly anticipated new Bollywood film starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, will have its world premiere in Toronto next month, a first for the city.

Guru will debut at Toronto's historic Elgin Theatre on Jan. 11, 2007 — a day ahead of its worldwide release, Toronto officials and the film's Canadian distributor, Roger Nair Productions, announced Friday.

Rai, Bachchan and producer Bobby Bedi will be on hand for the premiere, which organizers have billed India's first mainstream international release and the first time Toronto has hosted the world premiere of an Indian film.

This is good for Bollywood movies. I am delighted mainly because I think that this matter will encourage many Bollywood directors and producers to come up with good movies. Now, they will not have to be afraid that if Indian viewers would accept their movie or not.
