The tickets for the 12:55 pm show which was the first show, were sold out by 12noon, with so many people still waiting. I feel so loved and blessed. I am grateful to God for His blessings and my fans for their love and support. In just one cinema, we sold out 10 halls, we also had sold out all in other cinemas; I have got the best fans. It’s so exciting and I want this to continue for as long as possible.”
