Chennai, May 14 Director Abishan Jeevinth, whose just released film 'Tourist Family' has now emerged a superhit and is still going strong, has disclosed that he couldn't get tickets for his own film when he went to the theatre to watch it with his family.

"I want to thank the press and the media for celebrating my film. It was only after reading and watching your reviews that the public began to walk in to theatres watch the film. We all knew this film would be a success but honestly, none of us expected this film to be such an overwhelming success," Abishan Jeevinth said and then went on to narrate a funny incident.

Entire families are coming for night shows," he said thanking the producers and his entire cast and crew for their support to his film.

The film, which released simulatenously with two other big films -- Suriya's 'Retro' and Nani's 'Hit: The Third Case', has still managed to emerge a phenomenal success making several times more money than what was invested in it.
