Fast X in Rome
As grand as the movie is, its premiere was nothing short of a spectacle. A week before its global release, the film premiere was held in the historically significant Rome. The curtain raiser was done at none other than the famous monument Colosseum on May 12.
All those who were lucky to witness the magic unfold a week earlier were all pumped and couldn’t stop gushing about how wonderful the movie is. Some also went ahead to call this a comeback movie that puts the Fast and Furious franchise right on track.
The premier was an absolute vista with the entire cast being present in Rome. From Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, John Cena, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, and Rita Moreno, to a host of other talents were present in Rome, standing against the magnificent Colosseum as its background.
Rome was chosen as the premier city because a major chunk of the film was shot in Rome, drawing a sense of belongingness.

The Indian Grand Premier
Fast X, is a movie that has larger than life ideology at its core, and thereby it needs to be celebrated only that way. Indians made sure this happens even with the premiere. One of its kind experiences, the premiere of the much anticipated Fast X was hosted at the PVR Jio Drive-In theatre in BKC, Mumbai.
This is the first time a movie premier screening was hosted at a drive-in theatre. To many more firsts! Not only the screening, but the way the movie was screened was another marvellous episode.
Apart from being a drive-in experience, nearly 200 supercars were brought to the venue to add to the charm of the movie. A film is widely known for its swanky automobiles with the latest technology. The Indian premier screen definitely complimented the vibe of the movie with the fanciest cars in the world, being placed at the screening. It’s truly fancy-o-clock at the Jio Drive-in.
