Sunny Deol starrer Gadar: Ek Prem Katha to re-release in theatres: Date and other details you need to know

Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel’s Gadar Ek Prem Katha is one of the most loved films of all time. Now on June 15, an official said that the Sunny Deol-starring 2001 smash Gadar: Ek Prem Katha would be re-released worldwide.   The much-anticipated sequel Gadar 2: The Katha Continues, which will be released on August 11, will be coming two months after the re-release of the partition drama.

Anil Sharma, who also directed the first film, is in charge of this one, which was produced by Zee Studios.

According to a representative of the production firm, the choice to release the first movie on the same day as its 2001 release was chosen to create buzz for Gadar 2. “As a lead up to part two of Gadar, Zee Studios plan to re-release part one in digitally restored format like how Avatar was re-released. The movie will release on the same date, which is June 15,” an official from Zee Studios told PTI.

Director Anil Sharma said he is delighted to re-release Gadar in theatres again. “I am happy people are interested in (watching) Gadar. Just like how Avatar and Baahubali were re-released, we too will do that with Gadar. We are in the process of planning things for the re-release of the movie,” Sharma told PTI.

Gadar: Ek Prem Katha centered on the love story of Sakina (Ameesha Patel), a Pakistani Muslim girl, and Tara Singh (Sunny Deol), a Sikh. Both Deol and Patel will return in the follow-up to play the same parts.

One of the biggest box office clashes of the period occurred when Gadar and the Aamir Khan-starring film Lagaan were both released on the same day. But the movie had a spectacular box office success.
