The re-release of popular films from the past has been on the rise ever since the trend of digital upgradation of such films became a phenomenon in the recent past.
A super hit film Antha (1981), starring the late Dr Ambareesh, is set for yet another re-release on 26 May, the occasion of Ambareesh’s birthday (29 May).
“It inspired no less than 2,000 films. It even got featured in Variety magazine. Not only did it create a milestone in Sandalwood, but it made a mark in the Indian film industry”, director Rajendra Singh Babu said.
Originally made in black and white, this epic film, 'Satya Harischandra', based on the mythological character Raja Satya Harishchandra is one of the most re-released Kannada films.
