Akshay's biggest release abroad

Singh Is Kinng will be the widest ever day-and-date release of a solo Akshay Kumar starrer in the U.K., Ireland and Europe, courtesy of Studio 18 UK. In U.K. and Ireland, the film will preview on Thursday, 7th August with a general release on Friday, 8th August on a staggering 70 prints.

The film has received a PG certificate from the BBFC in U.K., which means that it is a complete watch for the family audience. Included in the 70 prints are 2 prints for Ireland -- Singh Is Kinng will have a day-and-date release in both Dublin and Belfast, in recognition of the growing Asian community in Ireland.

In addition to this, in Europe, the film opens on Friday on 10 prints in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. There will be a deferred release in Poland.

Confirms Tanuj Garg, Marketing&Distribution Head of UK&Europe, Studio 18, "Our Welcome did nearly £ 912,000 in U.K. on 51 prints, making it the biggest U.K. hit of Akshay's career. With Singh Is Kinng, we've raised the bar. Given the summer holiday period, the genre of the film, Akshay's star stature and the aggressive marketing for the film, we're giving it an extensive release across the circuit."
