Deol, whose character Tara Singh has become a popular figure, is happy that his film has adopted an inclusive approach to reach his fans. Gadar 2 has always had “a special place” in his heart, and the latest development has only endeared it further to him. “It’s overwhelming to see the continued love and support from audiences one year after Gadar 2’s release. This re-release with Indian Sign Language interpretation will allow the film to touch the hearts of more audiences. Understanding and empathy towards the accessibility needs of the deaf community is something we, in the entertainment sector, feel strongly about,” he says. 

Patel echoes the leading man’s sentiments, stating, “It feels great to bring the story of Sakina back on the big screen for a special audience that does not get enough opportunities to fully enjoy cinema as the rest of us.” Underlining that movie-viewing should become more inclusive, Umesh Kr Bansal, the studio’s chief business officer,  says, “Making cinema accessible for all is a priority for us.” While the re-release has been planned as a week-long affair, it will be extended if met with a strong response.
