'Saguni' has witnessed a very big opening in Dubai. No other recent Tamil film managed to get such a huge response in the country, say sources in the know.

"Tickets for all shows in the first three days are booked in Dubai. South Indians living there are showing great interest to watch the movie," they say.

Back home in Tamil Nadu, the film is releasing in unprecedented number of theatres, as 'Billa 2', which was earlier expected to hit the screens today, backed out of the race.

Expressing happiness, Karthi says, "The response has been very encouraging. I am sure everyone will like Saguni. It is an interesting entertainer and director Shankar Dayal has shaped it up very well."
