Sunny Deol & Ameesha Patel’s ‘Gadar 2’ To Be Re-Released For Differently-Abled Audiences

Mumbai: Almost a year after ‘Gadar 2’ hit the screens, the Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel-starrer is set for re-release in select theatres, the producers announced on Saturday.

In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the Anil Sharma-directed film will be screened across the country on Sunday for differently-abled audiences.

A sequel to the 2001 superhit hit ‘Gadar: Ek Prem Katha’, ‘Gadar 2’ also turned out to be a runaway hit at the domestic box office, amassing over Rs 625 crore in India following its release on August 11, 2023.

Producers Zee Studios said they are delighted to collaborate on an initiative to screen the film on Sunday at select PVR cinemas to provide an immersive cinematic experience for differently-abled prople.

India Signing Hands, a Mumbai-based organisation that provides accessibility solutions for the deaf, approached Zee Studios to screen ‘Gadar 2’.

“Gadar 2 is a film that resonates with the core of every Indian. Making cinema accessible for all is a priority, for us and we are proud to partner with India Signing Hands to make this happen,” Umesh Kr Bansal, CBO, Zee Studios, said in a statement.

Deol was grateful for the audiences’ unending love for ‘Gadar 2’.

“Gadar 2 is a film that has, and always will have, a special place in my heart. So, it’s overwhelming to see the continued love and support from audiences one year after its release. This re-release with Indian Sign Language interpretation will allow the film to touch the hearts of even more audiences this time,” the actor said.

Ameesha hoped that this special initiative will inspire other filmmakers to make cinema more inclusive and accessible.

‘Gadar 2’ will be screened with Indian Sign Language interpretation on Sunday at select PVR screens in all major Indian cities.
