The movie may be hitting the screens only on the 14th of December, but Ajith fans thronged the theatre early this morning to reserve their places when their icon’s movie releases. Ticket counters opened as early as 8 a.m. this morning; by noon, tickets were sold out for shows till 19th December! No wonder Ajith is called the King of Opening! And for Ajith himself, this is a mega opening, so you can imagine just how huge this is!

The movie did great with the Censors, given that not a single scene was snipped! The Censor's scissors took a break and the movie got a U/A certificate! 230 prints of the movie are ready for release across Tamil Nadu, Mumbai and Bangalore, while 70 prints are ready for overseas release. After Sivaji, Billa marks the biggest and widest release that Tamil Cinema has ever seen!

The expectations for the movie are immense, not just in India, but even abroad. This is not a movie that just Thalai fans are dying to catch, but Rajini fans as well! In fact, practically every movie buff is eager to see how the movie that made Rajini Superstar, is going to impact Ajith.

So if you’ve missed out on booking your place on day one, you’re going to have to wait for a week before you get a chance to watch the movie! As for those who managed to get the tickets, ‘Good for you’!!
