Speaking earlier about the trend of Bollywood film re-releases, Maddy had said: ” think it’s driven by a nostalgia factor — people want to relive the experience of watching these films in theatres, especially those films which they did not fully appreciate when it originally released in theatres, like Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein and Tumbbad (2018). All these films didn’t get much appreciation when they first released, but over a period became a cult hit. So, the audiences want to see the original glory and enjoy the nostalgia.”
