"But now, it can be enjoyed in all its glory in cinemas.”
To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Veer-Zaara will re-release in cinemas.
The classic, which stars Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta, will complete 20 years on November 12, 2024.
To mark the occasion, Yash Raj Films will re-release the film in overseas territories.
A number of Bollywood films are re-releasing in cinemas but only in India.
But Veer-Zaara will re-release in countries like the UK, Australia and Malaysia as well as territories like North America.
A source told Bollywood Hungama:
“To celebrate Veer-Zaara’s 20th anniversary, the studio will have a major re-release on November 7 in overseas territories.
“They plan to release the film in international markets like North America, the Middle East, the UK and Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore and South Africa.”
The special re-release will feature a new addition – the song ‘Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hai Kahaan’.
The track was deleted from the final film but was included in the DVD version. It will be shown on the big screen for the first time.
The source continued: “The re-release is special as it’s the first time foreign fans of the film will get a chance to taste the re-release trend.
“Also, the song ‘Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hai Kahaan’ has been added to the print.
“The song was deleted during its original release presumably as the film was long.
“It was not even a part of the VCD though it was included in the DVD version. However, it was never shown on the big screen.
“But now, it can be enjoyed in all its glory in cinemas.”
Directed by Yash Chopra, Veer-Zaara is the story of a squadron leader in the Indian Air Force who falls in love with a young Pakistani woman when she visits India.

The epic love story also starred Rani Mukerji, Divya Dutta, Kirron Kher and Manoj Bajpayee along with extended cameos by Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini.
