Subhash Ghai’s 1993 action-drama Khalnayak, starring Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff and Madhuri Dixit Nene, is being re-released in select cinemas to celebrate the 30th year since its release.
The film completed three decades on August 6, this year. In a media statement, Ghai said a star-studded premiere has been organised by Mukta Arts and Radio Nasha on September 4.
He said they will re-release Khalnayak in select theatres on public demand on September 5 via his cinema chain Mukta A2. Ghai, 78, believes it is the perfect time to re-release the blockbuster hit in theatres."As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Khalnayak, I am thrilled to announce that Mukta Arts is preparing to re-release this iconic film. The love and support we received from the audience three decades ago were truly overwhelming, and it feels like the perfect time to bring back the magic of Khalnayak to the big screen,” he said.
“The film holds a special place in my heart, and I can't wait for audiences to experience its power once again," added the filmmaker, known for movies like Ram Lakhan (1989), Pardes (1997) and Taal (1999).
In Khalnayak, Dutt features as the anti-hero Ballu, Shroff as police officer Ram and Dixit as undercover police officer Ganga.
