Toronto mayor David Miller has personally invited Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan and the star cast of Guru for the world premiere of the film.

The Mani Ratnam directed flick is India’s first mainstream international premiere in Canada.

Says Mayor. David Miller in a press release, "It's a pleasure to host the world premiere of ‘Guru’ in Toronto. This presentation represents a landmark event for the city of Toronto and all of Canada. It is an unprecedented occasion for the city to have film artists of the stature of Mani Ratnam, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, along with the producer Bobby Bedi . That they would select our city is an indication of the high regard Indian filmmakers have for Toronto. This is an opportunity to bring Indian Cinema to a larger appreciative audience and, at the same time, to further develop economic, creative and personal ties between our two countries."

Abhishek, who plays the main protagonist in the film seemed pretty excited about ‘Guru’ being the first film to be premiered in Canada.

Says Abhishek, "Hello, I'm Abhishek Bachchan. You have always come to see my movies and now its time to come and see you. Join me for the world premiere of my film ‘Guru’ in Toronto, Jan 11, 2007. See you there!”

‘Guru’ will achieve another first- it will be the first Indian film to be distributed by a Canadian Distributor, Roger Nair Productions, the company behind the world premiere of ‘Guru’.

Padamm Kumar, COO, Roger Nair production said "It is indeed an honour to have the world premiere of ‘Guru’ in Toronto, since it will be the first Indian mainstream film to do so. This has been path breaking and a landmark deal between Canada and India, in the process making Canada an official territory for Bollywood films. We chose Mani Ratnam's film because his films has a certain sensibilities attached, visually international and in content.”

Roger Nair productions will hold a world premiere in Toronto with most of the cast and crew attending on January 11th 2007 including Ash, Abhishek, Madhavan , A R Rahman and Mani Ratnam at the prestigious Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre Centre, where most of Hollywood films are premiered.
