Vijay, Trisha-starrer Ghilli gets re-release date with a new trailer

Marking 20 years of Ghilli, starring Vijay, Trisha and Prakash Raj, the makers have announced a re-release date with a new trailer cut.

The commercially successful film was first released on April 17 in 2004.

Ghilli will be re-released globally on April 20.

The film follows Saravana Velu who shies away from studies to pursue Kabaddi. He is caught in the crosshair of a Madurai gangster Muthupandi (Prakash Raj), who courts Dhanalakshmi (Trisha) against her wishes, while he appears for a Kabaddi tournament.

Ghilli is a remake of Okkadu (2003) starring Mahesh Babu and Bhumika. Owing to the huge success of Ghilli, the action film was remade in Kannada as Ajay (2006), in Bengali as Jor (2008) and in Hindi as Tevar (2015).
