Naman Ramachandran India’s Yash Raj Films is mounting an international re-release of Yash Chopra‘s “Veer Zaara” to mark the film’s 20th anniversary, with the Shah Rukh Khan starrer set to play on 600 screens worldwide starting Nov.

7. The 2004 romance, which features Khan alongside Preity Zinta and Rani Mukerji, will make its theatrical debut in Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar as part of a rollout spanning 19 territories including North America, Europe, Australia and South Africa.

The re-release will include the previously unreleased song “Yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan,” marking its first inclusion in the theatrical cut of the film. “Veer Zaara” was the highest-grossing Indian film of 2004 both domestically and internationally. “We could sense that fans wanted to see this love story worldwide,” says Nelson D’Souza, VP of international distribution at YRF. “From the chatter on social media to fan requests to our offices globally, people were waiting for us to take this decision.” Jio Studios, the entertainment arm of billionaire Mukesh Ambani‘s Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), has debuted its new animated logo alongside the release of “Singham Again.” The launch comes during a banner year for the Indian production house, which has seen hits with “Article 370,” “Shaitaan,” and “Stree 2.” The animated sequence features a mandala-inspired design incorporating Indian languages and musical elements, culminating in a gold lotus motif.

Set to a sitar-led score, the black and gold visuals align with the studio’s mandate of “Make in India, Show the World.” Since its 2018 launch, Jio Studios has produced more than 100 films and series.
