A sequel to Deol’s 2001 hit Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, the Anil Sharma directorial had become a runaway hit at the domestic box office when it was released last year. Producers Zee Studios said they are delighted to collaborate on an initiative to screen the film on Sunday at select PVR cinemas nationwide, providing an immersive cinematic experience for differently-abled audiences.
