Filmmaker Karan Johar said he wanted to release 바카라Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham바카라 again in theatres on the 25th year anniversary of the film, saying the trend of re-releasing movies was "fantastic".
Johar, citing the re-release of "Rockstar" and a retrospective of Zoya Akhtar that was recently held, said releasing cult movies again would "remind everybody that Hindi cinema rocks".
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, a 2001 family drama starring Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Jaya Bachchan, Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee was Johar바카라s second film. The movie, often referred to by its acronym K3G, was a huge success at the box office.
바카라I feel when K3G바카라s 25 years is completed, which I think will be after two years, I think we should re-release the film. I haven바카라t seen the film myself. I see my films once when they are ready but not after that," Johar said at the trailer launch of Dharma Productions' upcoming romantic comedy 바카라Bad Newz바카라 on Friday evening.
"I have not seen the film in 23 years. When someone makes reels on the dialogues and scenes, that I watch,바카라 Johar told reporters here.
The filmmaker said as many audiences have grown up watching these films, re-releasing them will be a reminder for people that "Hindi cinema rocks".
바카라I was very excited about films coming back. I was so happy that 바카라Rockstar바카라 released and it got a lot of love. I saw so many reels of people, it was receiving so much love. It was a cult film. "I think this phenomenon which has started of re-releasing films is fantastic. I think the entire generation has grown up watching our films...," he said.
There are so many people who have grown up watching films of the 80s, 90s and 00s and loved them, the filmmaker said. "We should constantly remind everybody that Hindi cinema rocks,바카라 he added.
