Billa opens today - updated


After Rajnikanth's Sivaji, Ajith's "Billa" is the much hyped and a movie with lot of expectations. This will be screened all over Tamil Nadu today. This is the hottest movie in the trade circuit now. In Chennai alone, Billa is opening in 10 screens (Sivaji 14 screens), with mount road area alone showing it in four screens. The advance booking for this movie is awesome; it has received a tremendous response from all corners of the city with the first ten days already booked in almost all the theaters. This film is supposed to be the costliest film for our thala Ajith, it is also sold for the highest price ever for an Ajith movie. Ajith is portrayed as "king of Opening"
Vishnu varadhan, the director is thrilled by the way the film has shaped out. Vishnu says," There is an old saying - never re-make a classic; but I wanted to make a different Billa. It was a difficult job for me as already three mega stars have played Billa over the years. It was difficult challenge and I assure the audience that my version is different in look, treatment and packaging." He was in all praise for Ajith. According to him, without Ajith the project would not have materialised. "Ajith gave me courage by saying that he would act in Billa. I feel Ajith has great fan following because he is cool and has the right attitude. He also commands a terrific screen presence."
This film is said to be the most stylish film ever made in the Tamil Film industry with glossy camera work, Chinese stuntman William Ong's action packed scenes, glamour girls, beautiful locales, meant for multiplex audiences, though the story remains the same. Nayanthara and Namitha appear in the most glamourous costumes. The film's music is scored by Yuvan and he has remixed two of the old hits.
Billa is already declared a hit by the traders because of the amazing advance bookings, lack of competition, solo opening with Christmas, New year and Pongal, a long list of holidays ahead. This movie will prove to be a turning point in Ajith's film career.
