Deewana to return after two decades
MUMBAI: Over two decades ago, Shah Rukh Khan made his mark in Bollywood with Deewana. The 1992 blockbuster boasted of many feats to its credit. It was not only the second highest grosser of the year, but its chartbuster soundtrack also went on to create huge waves in cine-circles, fetching the music maestros Nadeem-Shravan their third Filmfare Award in a row, after Aashiqui (1990) and Saajan (1991).
Though Khan wasn‘t the solo hero in the musical romance drama, his promising acting credentials were applauded by the viewers and critics alike.
Now in the era of remakes and sequels, producer Guddu Dhanoa too wishes to capitalise on the unbeaten formulas.
When asked whether the new Deewana would be a remake or a sequel, Dhanoa informed PTI that their next venture would be more of a sequel, but with a different love story this time around. The producer also notified that they have decided to use the title as it is, and will add something to it. He further said that his project will be on the similar lines as the Bhatts have treated their thriving creations, Murder and Jannat.
Deewana will have a complete new star-cast, which has yet to be finalised.
Directed by Raj Kanwar and co-produced by Lalit Kapoor with Dhanoa, the older flick had Rishi Kapoor and late actress Divya Bharti in pivotal roles, apart from SRK.

Dhurandhar returns to theatres worldwide on March 13 ahead of Dhurandhar The Revenge release
Jio Studios re-releases blockbuster across 500 screens globally before sequel
MUMBAI: The spy saga of Dhurandhar is gearing up for a big-screen encore before its next chapter arrives.
Ahead of the release of Dhurandhar The Revenge on March 19, Jio Studios and B62 Studios are bringing the original Dhurandhar back to cinemas worldwide in a rare international theatrical re-release.
The global blockbuster is returning across nearly 500 screens, including around 250 in India from March 12 and another 250 overseas beginning March 13.
For fans of the franchise, the move offers a chance to revisit the film that ignited the high-octane spy-action universe just days before the sequel lands in theatres. It also sets up a rare back-to-back big-screen experience, allowing audiences to relive the original before diving straight into the next chapter.
While re-releases of popular films are occasionally seen in India, international re-runs of Hindi films remain uncommon. The scale of the rollout reflects the growing global appetite for the franchise.
In North America alone, Dhurandhar will return to theatres across nearly 185 screens, highlighting the strong anticipation surrounding the upcoming sequel.
The excitement is set to build further with special Wednesday premiere shows of Dhurandhar The Revenge scheduled across the US and Canada on March 18, a day ahead of its global release. Many of these premieres will be hosted on premium large format screens, featuring wall-to-wall displays, immersive sound systems such as Dolby Atmos, enhanced projection and luxury seating.
These formats are typically reserved for major Hollywood event films, and early bookings suggest strong demand with several shows already sold out.
The recently released trailer of Dhurandhar The Revenge has also sparked buzz among exhibitors and trade circles, with expectations running high for the film’s international performance.
Dhurandhar The Revenge is written, directed and produced by Aditya Dhar. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar.
Jio Studios presents a B62 Studios production, an Aditya Dhar film.
The spy-action thriller will release worldwide on March 19, 2026, in five languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
The film arrives in theatres globally on the occasion of Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, just ahead of Eid, setting the stage for a festive box office run.
