The trend of re-release is going strong this year as well. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani got a good turnout while Sanam Teri Kasam has emerged as a historic re-release success. A few days back, the makers of Andaz Apna Apna, starring Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor, announced their plans to re-release the comic caper in cinemas in April. It was directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and Bollywood Hungama has learned that his other memorable film, Ghatak, is now being readied for a re-release.

EXCLUSIVE: Along with Andaz Apna Apna, Rajkumar Santoshi’s Ghatak to also re-release; Sunny Deol-starrer expected in cinemas on February 28

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Ghatak was a huge success at the box office when it was released in 1996 and continues to remain popular due to its action scenes, emotional moments, songs and of course Sunny Deol’s towering presence. Sunny’s track record has gotten a boost with the monstrous blockbuster, Gadar 2 (2023) and there’s a demand to see him more. As a result, the decision was taken to bring the film back to cinemas.”

The source continued, “The tentative release date as of now is February 28 but it might change. A final decision will be taken in a few days.” The source also said, “Sunny Deol is excited about Ghatak’s re-release and will also promote it.”

Along with Sunny Deol, Ghatak also starred Meenakshi Seshadri, Amrish Puri and Danny Denzongpa. It is the story of a man who comes to Mumbai from Banaras for his father’s treatment. He stays with his uncle in a colony where he meets a woman, with whom he falls in love. This colony is also terrorized by a tyrannical gangster. How the protagonist fights the villain forms the crux of the tale. Ghatak is also remembered for its song ‘Koi Jaye To Le Aaye’, featuring Mamta Kulkarni.

Meanwhile, after Ghatak’s re-release, Sunny Deol will gear up for the promotions and release of his much-awaited upcoming film, Jaat. It will be released in cinemas on April 10.
