Sridevi’s Japanese fan base on the rise
02/09/2014
Sridevi's English Vinglish has had a golden run in Japan since its release on June 28 this year across 33 screens. Following an all-around appreciation from the local audience, it was then released in another 17 screens, taking the total screen count to 50 across 20 cities in Japan.
Prior to this, Aamir Khan starrer 3 Idiots had aroused such a warm response in Japan, making English Vinglish the second Bollywood film to get such an ovation.
Reacting to the film's success across the shores, Sridevi says, "I'm overwhelmed with all the praise the film continues to receive worldwide. A big thank you to Gauri Shinde once again for making such a beautiful movie."
The grand premiere of English Vinglish was held in Tokyo on May 27 this year and was attended by Sridevi along with First Lady of Japan, Akie Abe and famous Japanese singer, Agnes Chan. The film, which has been released in Japan by Eros International, has also met with similar success in Hong Kong, Germany, Taiwan and Korea.
