The team wants to celebrate the legacy of the first part before introducing the audience to the world of Gadar 2. Gadar will re-release in cinema halls all across the country on June 9, which coincides with the week in which Gadar released back in the day,” revealed a source close to the development.
The source further added that contrary to the general norm of re-releasing films in just multiplex chains, Gadar will release in the single screens too. “The core of Gadar rests in the mass belt and the stakeholders will do a well-planned release of Gadar in some of the iconic single screens across India. The release strategy, theatre listing and other plans will be unveiled shortly,” the source added.
