Rioting for tickets to the first show, frenzied fans bathing their hero's cut-out in milk India's most expensive film opened to huge anticipation on Friday, and it's not from Bollywood. Made at a cost of over $15 million, a huge budget by Indian standards, the Tamil language Sivaji The Boss, has generated enormous interest with tickets sold out for weeks in the south. The hero of the film is Rajnikanth, a regional star whose flamboyance is unequalled by Bollywood actors and who may have even more fans than India's best-known star Amitabh Bachchan.
