Rajinikanth’s beloved film Sivaji is gearing up for a re-release this September 20th. Directed by Shankar, the film was a blockbuster during its original release. The re-release of Sivaji has been the talk of the town for a while, as it is finally hitting the screens after several attempts to open bookings were cancelled for unknown reasons. Now, the film is making a return to theaters with a new strategy.
What initially started as re-releases planned for special occasions has now evolved into a business model, with several third-party distributors organizing re-releases to capitalize on nostalgic audiences. As a result, many films are returning to theaters without a specific occasion, with some proving successful while others falter.
Sivaji’s re-release will incorporate a unique strategy, where tickets in selected theaters will be priced at just ₹99 each. Whether this approach will be adopted by others in the industry depends on how well Sivaji is received by audiences. Some fans are already thrilled with this decision, saying, “Who wouldn’t watch Sivaji at such an affordable price for its content and larger-than-life song presentations?”
