With Vijay’s 'Ghilli' setting a new benchmark for re-releases, the excitement surrounding older blockbusters returning to theaters has only grown stronger.
Thalapathy Vijay’s 2005 romantic comedy 'Sachien' is all set for a grand re-release, with the makers officially announcing April 18 as the release date. The makers confirmed this news on their X (formerly Twitter) handle, bringing excitement to fans who have been eagerly waiting for the film’s return to cinemas. "Sachein is all set for a grand worldwide release on April 18th!", posted the makers by sharing a new poster for the
