“Party”, a star-studded, $10 million budget Tamil comedy movie, shot entirely in Fiji, has released its much-anticipated trailer to a worldwide audience.

Film Fiji says that the trailer was viewed more than one million times within 24 hours of its release, building huge anticipation to the upcoming movie which will be released around the world in January.

Top South Indian Director Venkat Prabhu directed the film over a marathon 58 days around Suva and the western parts of Fiji.

The 12 lead cast was headlined by “Baahubali” stars, Sathyraj and Ramya Krishnan.

Fiji audience will recognize some of the landmark locations used in the movie from Apted Park in Suva Point through Suva City to Lautoka, Nadi and the Mamanuca Islands.

Around 600 local extras were used in the making of the film and lavish sets were dressed to resemble scenes of the night of New Year's Eve.

Film Fiji CEO Mr. Dallas Foon says that it was exciting to have a large budget Indian movie in Fiji this year.

He says the South Indian film industry produces around 1,000 films a year, four times more than the six major Hollywood studios combined and to get one of its biggest film for the year shot in Fiji is a great achievement for Fiji.

Foon adds that audiences around the world will see the country beautifully presented in this film and it has been taunted in the Indian entertainment press as one of the most highly anticipated films in India for 2018.
