The
online
pre-booking

Sathyam
Cinemas
was
opened
today(January

2019).
And,
believe
it
or
not,
all
the
tickets
for
Day
1
were
sold
out
in
THREE
minutes
flat.
This
clearly
proves
that
even
more
than
40

his
debut,
Rajinikanth

still
the
undisputed
king
of
the
box
office.
Other
Centres
To
Follow
Suit?
The
online
booking
for
all
other
centres
is
set
to
open
tomorrow(January
5,
2018)
on
Bookmyshow.
The
buzz
is
that
the
craze
around
Petta
is
pretty
strong
and
the
response
might
be
equally
good
in
the
other
centres.
A
Big
Feat
The
advance
booking
for
2.0
too
was
pretty
remarkable.
In
fact,
in
most
markets
the
tickets
sold
like
hot
cakes.
What
makes
the
overwhelming
response
to
Petta
an
even
bigger
achievement
is
that,
unlike
the
Shankar
directorial,
this
one
is
helmed
by
a
younger
director
and
seems
to
be
a
relatively
smaller
movie.
The
craze
also
indicates
that
Rajinikanth
is
going
to
be
a
big
draw
irrespective
of
who
directs
him.

in
the
industry
feel
that
it
has
the

change
post
