Gadar re-release premiere in 4 cities
“Gadar re-release will be as big as the first film’s release back in 2001. The team will be hosting a massive premiere in 4 key cities of India, which include Mumbai, Lucknow, Indore, and Jaipur. The re-release of Gadar will also mark the beginning of the campaign leading to the release of Gadar 2 on August 11,” revealed a source close to the development, adding further that the idea of this extended campaign is to keep momentum and conversation around the sequel intact.
“There is a generation that has heard about Gadar, but probably not experienced the big screen euphoria. The idea of the re-release is to reintroduce the brand to the Gen-Z audience,” the source informed, adding further that Sunny, Anil, and Ameesha will be a part of the grand 4-city premiere. “Utkarsh Sharma, who was a child artist in Gadar, is a grown-up lead in the sequel, and he will also be joining the team through the campaign,” the source concluded.
