Guru 2007: Fans Spending $500 to Enjoy the Premiere!

The world Premiere of Guru is going to take place after few hours in Toronto, Canada. This is the first time that any Bollywood movie is having its world premiere in Canada and 10,000 fans are expected to come to the street to welcome the leading crews of Guru (2007). Many fans are paying a fortune to enjoy the world premiere of the movie.

The Star reported:

Toronto Mayor David Miller had personally invited the cast for the world premiere after Roger Nair Productions, based in Mississauga, Ont., acquired the Canadian distribution rights of the Hindi film.

Nair said demand for tickets to the gala was hot.

"It is insane. It's insane!" he said Wednesday over the phone, adding that theatres across the country have been calling asking if they can show the film.

Top price for the gala is $500, although fans need wait only another day to see the film at regular box office prices. Guru opens in cities across Canada on Friday.

Toronto is an excellent place to launch the film because of the region's large South Asian community, said Finestone.

$500 is a lot of money in any country. I must admit that I would never spend such a huge amount of money to join the world premiere of any movie. Well, those people who have enough money- this is not a significant amount and I understand that. I am only happy that Bollywood movies are attracting more people in the west.
